<p>Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris admitted his side got "smashed" in a dreadful first-half display in the 3-1 defeat by north London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.</p>.<p>Club captain Lloris was beaten three times before halftime as Arsenal ran riot with goals by Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka.</p>.<p>"We lost complete control in the first half. We got smashed and then had a good reaction," Lloris said.</p>.<p>"It's frustrating and very disappointing. It's the moment to stick together and carry on. The players were ready but we lost a bit of control. We lost balance in the middle of the pitch."</p>.<p>After winning their first three games of the season and sitting on top of the table, Tottenham have suffered three successive defeats in London derbies -- 3-0 at Crystal Palace, 3-0 at home to Chelsea and Sunday's feeble defeat at Arsenal.</p>.<p>"When you concede three goals in each of the last three league games you cannot hide the problems," Lloris said.</p>.<p>"But we are professional. There is a long way to go. We need to stay calm."</p>.<p>Manager Nuno Espirito Santo said his side must now recover "mentally and physically for the next one" which is a home clash next weekend against an Aston Villa team buoyant after beating Manchester United. Lose that and the rumblings off discontent will increase in volume considerably.</p>.<p>"We didn't achieve the standards that our fans deserve every day," the Portuguese said of his side's display.</p>.<p>"We will try to fix it. The only message I can say by words, after that it is only by work.</p>.<p>"It is taking us too much time to go back to the things we want to do and the things we want to do as a team. We want to be a team that is fast, stronger, solid, dominant.</p>.<p>"We are not being that team."</p>.<p>Espirito Santo hauled off the disappointing Dele Alli and Japhet Tanganga at halftime and while there was a slight improvement after the break with Son Heung-min grabbing a consolation goal, the manager said he had to take some blame.</p>.<p>"Not today," he said when asked whether the players had carried out the tactics. "I decided bad. I didn't take the right decisions and I refuse to go out more further than that." </p>
