Moussa Sissoko was one of Tottenham Hotspur’s best players today.
Graham Roberts has paid tribute to Moussa Sissoko’s performance for Tottenham Hotspur today.
Spurs held North London rivals Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at Wembley, with the Gunners missing a stoppage-time penalty to snatch all three points.
Sissoko’s energy in Tottenham’s midfield was huge for his manager Mauricio Pochettino today, and one moment in particular summed it up.
During the second half, the France international sprinted back and made a potentially goal-saving intervention to block Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who later missed the penalty.
It’s been a stunning breakthrough season for Sissoko, who joined the Lilywhites for £30 million in 2016 [BBC Sport], and here is what club legend Roberts has made of his performance.
Beyond individual displays, that looks like the end for Tottenham’s Premier League title bid.
Liverpool can move 13 points clear of third-placed Spurs if they win at Everton tomorrow.
It’s about the Champions League and securing a top-four finish for Pochettino’s side from here on in.
