Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris says his side’s embarrassing Europa League exit to Dinamo Zagreb is a damning indictment of problems in the dressing room.

Spurs managed to throw away a 2-0 first-leg lead in Croatia by losing 3-0 after extra time in one of the most disappointing night’s in the club’s recent history.

Lloris did not hold back during his inquest of the defeat, calling it a “disgrace”, a consequence of a lack of togetherness in the squad and as a result of players not respecting the badge.

The France captain also pointed the finger at players not in Jose Mourinho’s starting XI for causing trouble in the camp.

“I think we are all more than disappointed,” he said in an explosive interview with BT Sport. “It is just a disgrace. I just hope everyone in the changing room feels responsible for this situation because it’s a disgrace.

“It’s just an accumulation. We are a club that’s full of ambition but the team at the moment I just think is a reflection of what’s going on in our club.

“We have a lack of basics, lack of fundamentals. Overall our performance is in relation to that. I think mentally we should be stronger, we should be more competitive.

“The way we play is just not enough. Not enough. One thing is to come in front of the camera and say I’m ambitious, the other is to show every day – in training sessions, it’s to show every time on the pitch – you cannot let it down if you play or don’t play.

“To behave as a team is the most difficult thing in football. Whatever is the decision of the manager you have to follow the way of the team.

“I think if you look at all the experience we have got as a player individually as a player in the dressing room, we have all got that,” he said.

“From one leg to another anything can turn if you believe and make the perfect game. What is more painful is the feeling that we came here without the desire to kill the game. When you are a competitor you cannot behave in that way.

“When we started to realise it was too late. The confidence was back in the Zagreb team and then the game became even harder.

“This is the story of the game and it is done and we cannot change unfortunately. It is a disgrace from us and we can only feel sorry for the fans because every year they are full of hope.

“To win this competition would mean a lot but now we have to be back on our basics in a routine and fight again in the league to get back in this competition next season.”

Reserve goalkeeper Joe Hart has issued an apology after a member of his social media team posted an Instagram story saying “job done” after the 3-0 loss.

He said on the social media platform: “I feel like I need to come on and make an apology on behalf of my social media team. It has just been brought to my attention, I’ve literally just woke up, that someone thought that we’d won 3-0 last night.

“As sloppy as it sounds, it’s the truth. Posted ‘job done’. That’s unacceptable and I’m sure it’s annoyed a lot of people and I’m sorry it’s come to that.

“It’s obviously not come from me and I’ve got nothing but love for the club and support for the team. I’m just as down as the boys are, so apologies.

“Unfortunately it’s happened but just know it didn’t come from any other place other than a typo.”
