Tottenham labelled ‘irresponsible’ over Hugo Lloris decision
by Greg Leedham

Spurs allowed keeper Hugo Lloris to stay on the pitch despite being knocked unconscious in a collision with Everton striker Romelu Lukaku during Sunday’s Premier League match at Goodison Park.

That decision sparked criticism from the charity, as well as the Professional Footballers’ Association, who called for any player who loses consciousness to be automatically removed from the field of play.
