Tottenham completed a convincing 5-2 win over Southampton on Boxing Day, but Spurs fans on Twitter were still frustrated with the display of Hugo Lloris goalkeeper.

The 31-year-old shot-stopper was beaten at his near post by a powerful effort by Sofiane Boufal and was also unable to keep out a late consolation strike from Dusan Tadic.

He missed out on a clean sheet during a game his side dominated and has been guilty of a few individual errors at times this season.

The north London club still cruised to three points in the league as Harry Kane stole the headlines with his stunning hat-trick.

Kane overtook Alan Shearer’s record for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year as he ended 2017 with 39 top-flight goals.

Meanwhile, attackers Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son were also on the scoresheet for the hosts at Wembley as they climbed temporarily up to fourth in the league.

Spurs fans on social media decided to single out their captain Lloris for his errors and feel that he has looked off the mark lately.

This Is Futbol has rounded up some of the best tweets:

Lloris has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League over recent years, but has made a few uncharacteristic mistakes recently.

The France international is a senior player in the dressing room and certainly one of the integral players in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

He was fortunate on Tuesday that his side scored five goals against Southampton to spare his blushes, but fans are certainly aware of his recent dip in form.
