Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho hails Hugo Lloris as 'best goalkeeper in the Premier League' despite his costly error in draw at Crystal Palace

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho called Hugo Lloris the best goalkeeper in the Premier League despite his role in Crystal Palace's goal in a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park.

Lloris was unable to hold Eberechi Eze's free-kick, which allowed Jeffrey Schlupp to ram home an 81st-minute equaliser to cancel out Harry Kane's first-half opener.

It was a story of two goalkeepers as Vicente Guaita then made two stunning saves to make amends for his first-half error and deny Spurs a winner as Mourinho's title challengers dropped two points.

Spurs had to defend a barrage of second-half pressure, so Schlupp's equaliser was well deserved, but Lloris was exonerated by Mourinho.
