Hugo Lloris wants Tottenham to regain winning touch

Hugo Lloris says Tottenham must return to winning ways next weekend in order to maintain their push for a top-four finish.

Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw by West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, but the result did ensure they extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 14 matches. 

Mauricio Pochettino's side have not lost since their 1-0 opening-day defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. 

However, Spurs are yet to move into the top four this season after eight draws during their undefeated streak. 

With Spurs currently in fifth spot in the Premier League table, Lloris knows the importance of claiming victory over Newcastle United next Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1HD from 3.30pm.

"To get the benefit of this game and the last game (a 0-0 draw with Chelsea) we need to get three points against Newcastle," the France international told Spurs TV. 

"It was a tough game in really bad conditions. Sometimes you need to keep fighting during the game and try to do your best to not lose. 

"The spirit is still great. Probably that kind of game in the past we could have lost it. Everyone is ready to do their best for the team."

Spurs welcome Monaco to White Hart Lane in the Europa League on Thursday ahead of the match with Steve McClaren's struggling Magpies. 

Lloris has been in fine form for Spurs this season and demonstrated his importance to the team with a stunning save to deny Jonas Olsson a second-half winner for the Baggies. 

The 28-year-old, however, preferred to play down his impact. 

"It's more about decisions. I took the decision to stay on my line and I touched it and put it over my bar. It's always a good feeling when you can help the team get points," he added.
