Hugo Lloris has called on Tottenham's forwards to show more aggression following a third straight draw.

Spurs were held by West Brom last weekend and played out a goalless draw in Leverkusen during the week before another stalemate at Bournemouth on Sunday.

The 0-0 draw at the Vitality Stadium saw Spurs extend their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season but paved the way for Manchester City to extend their lead at the top of the table when they host Southampton on Saturday.

Mauricio Pochettino's men weathered an early period of pressure from the Cherries before asserting their dominace on the south coast, but couldn't find a way past their hosts.

Erik Lamela went closest for the visitors in the second period after picking his way through the Bournemouth backline. The Argentine sent an effort sailing over from a narrow angle as Eddie Howe's men frustrated Spurs.

"I always say when you cannot win, you must not lose, but it’s three draws in a row now and we needed to score," Lloris told the club's website.

"Perhaps we need to be more aggressive in the last 30 yards, in our runs, in our passes. Look, it’s football and there are ups and downs.

"We had good control of the game apart from the first 10 or 15 minutes when they had a lot of pressure and had a good chance. It’s not enough because we have ambition, so we’re not happy with a point."
