Tottenham’s Hugo Llolris Expressed Sadness At Fans Booing Defender During Bournemouth Defeat

Hugo Lloris has expressed his sadness at the Tottenham supporters’ treatment of Davinson Sanchez after the defender was booed by his own fans in the defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday.

Sanchez came off the bench during the first half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to replace the injured Clement Lenglet but endured an unhappy afternoon as Bournemouth claimed a 3-2 victory with a 95th-minute winner.

Sanchez was inadvertently involved in the Cherries’ first two goals, playing the ball to Pedro Porro – who was then dispossessed in the build-up to the first strike – before deflecting the ball into Dominic Solanke’s path for the striker to score the second.

The Colombia international was then replaced by Arnaut Danjuma as Cristian Stellini made attacking changes, with jeers raining down from the crowd as Sanchez made his way back to the bench.

But Spurs captain Lloris said that was not an isolated incident and described the situation as “sad for the club”.

“It started earlier,” Lloris told beIN Sports. “It’s when he came on the pitch. I’ve never seen this in my career.

“I feel really bad for Davinson. He’s a team-mate, he’s a friend and he’s been fighting for the club for many, many years now.

“It’s just sad. The story is sad for the club, for the fans, for the player. It’s something you don’t want to see in football.”
