Tottenham Hotspur kicked their season off again last night.

Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United in North London during the first gameweek of Project Restart.

A number of Tottenham players didn’t cover themselves in glory against the Red Devils – including Eric Dier – but fans of the Lilywhites have been raving about one player who did.

Before last night, Moussa Sissoko hadn’t kicked a ball for the club since New Year’s Day due to injury.

And with the health crisis-led suspension in football, you could forgive the France international for being rusty.

But the former Newcastle star looked like he hadn’t been away despite occasionally struggling against opposite number Paul Pogba.

It was a gutsy, committed and energetic display by the Tottenham midfielder – who joined for £30 million back in the summer of 2016 – and here’s how their fans reacted to it on Twitter:
