Mauricio Pochettino believes his demands on Hugo Lloris were to blame for the goalkeeper’s error during Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having already been under pressure after a poor run of results \u2013 including exiting the League Cup against Colchester United \u2013 Spurs had to dig deep to pick up three points against the Saints after Serge Aurier was sent off.<\/p>\n

How bad was Lloris’ error? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Spurs battled to a 2-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.<\/li>\n
  • That was just their second victory in eight games across all competitions.<\/li>\n
