Spurs criticised for letting keeper play on with head injury
Tottenham Hotspur have been criticised by a leading brain injury charity for allowing goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to play on against Everton despite suffering a head injury.
The France international, 26, went down after colliding with Everton striker Romelu Lukaku in the latter stages of the 0-0 draw on Sunday.
Despite a lengthy delay and the keeper appearing to lose consciousness, Spurs Manager Andre Villas-Boas decided not to substitute the goalkeeper.
Brain injury charity Headway said the decision was wrong and that the player may have caused greater damage to his brain by continuing in the game.
