Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris suffered a horrendous arm injury as he conceded early on in Saturday's loss to Brighton. Lloris struggled to deal with a Pascal Gross cross, dropping the ball and allowing Neal Maupay to finish simply. But it got worse for the Frenchman as he fell backwards before landing awkwardly on his left arm. His arm appeared to bend the wrong way with Lloris stretchered off as he was given oxygen.
