Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur (Keeper Lloris the hero as Spurs earn a point at Leverkusen) #B04THFC

Hugo Lloris kept his fifth clean sheet of the season for Tottenham

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris made a string of saves to secure a Champions League draw against Bayer Leverkusen.

The France international superbly kept out Javier Hernandez's close-range shot, and pushed away low drives from Charles Aranguiz and Admir Mehmedi.

Dele Alli should have done better at the other end when he powerfully headed wide from six yards out.

Team-mate Vincent Janssen hit the bar and, from the rebound, Erik Lamela had an effort tipped over by Bernd Leno.

Match Highlights

Spurs will be thankful to man-of-the-match Lloris for keeping a clean sheet in a match in which they had more of the possession but their hosts had the better chances.

The former Lyon player made six saves at the BayArena, three of which were crucial:

• 48 minutes: Best save of the night. Having had nothing to do in the first half, Lloris was made to work soon after the break. Stefan Kiessling played the ball across for Hernandez, in front of whom the goal was gaping. But the former Manchester United striker saw Lloris leap across to keep out the ball, half of which had crossed the line.
• 56 minutes: Chile international Aranguiz let fly with a skiddy, low free-kick from 25 yards out, but Lloris dived full stretch to his right to push the ball away.
• 61 minutes: With Leverkusen creating more chances, Switzerland international Mehmedi found space on the edge of the area, but Lloris got down low to his right again to palm the ball out.

Mauricio Pochettino's side remain second in Group E, and have conceded just seven goals in 11 games in all competitions this season. Their only defeat came in the opening group game against Monaco last month.

What they said:

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris: "You need a bit of luck in that kind of action and this time I saved (from Javier Hernandez).

"It was a key moment but it was not the only one. We should have scored in the first half and then the game would have been much different."

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "I am not disappointed. After the game, I think it is a good point for us.

"It was a very tough game. In the first half we deserved more and in the second they got better. I am pleased with the point.

"In the second half I think they played better than us and started to dominate the game. We need to be positive - it is in our hands to go through to the next round."

What next?

Tottenham are back in Premier League action on Saturday as they travel to Bournemouth (kick-off 12:30 BST). Their next Champions League match is on Wednesday, 2 November when they welcome Leverkusen to Wembley (kick-off 19:45 BST).
