Hugo Lloris warns Tottenham not to throw away chance of a top four finish following loss to Brighton: 'I hope this defeat will help the team to finish stronger'

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has warned his side not to throw away their chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Spurs saw a run of four successive wins, which had catapulted them from eighth into the top four, come to an abrupt end when they were beaten 1-0 by Brighton on Saturday.

They got away with it to an extent as Arsenal lost at Southampton, but Manchester United's win over Norwich saw them close the gap on Spurs to three points.
