Some Tottenham fans on social media were all-praise for Hugo Lloris after his performance against Belgium on Thursday.
The Nations League semi-final between France and Belgium was a topsy-turvy encounter, with the Red Devils racing into a 2-0 goal lead in the first half courtesy of strikes from Yannick Carrasco and Kevin De Bruyne.
However, Les Blues produced a tremendous fight-back, with goals from Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappe and Theo Hernandez, helping them to seal a place in the final.
Lloris produced two magnificent saves on the night, the first to deny Kevin De Bruyne from close range when the score was 0-0.
The France captain then tipped another De Bryne piledriver over the bar with the game finely poised at 2-2.
The 34-year-old received plenty of plaudits for his first save in particular, with many in disbelief as to how the Tottenham man got a hand to the effort.
Some Spurs fans insisted that Lloris is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and extremely underrated.
