Former Tottenham Hotspur player Graham Roberts has showered praise on Moussa Sissoko.

Tottenham Hotspur put up a great performance and earned a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid away from home at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night in the Champions League.

The north London club took the lead in the 28th minute when Raphael Varane diverted Serge Aurier’s right-wing cross into his own net.

Madrid restored parity just before the half-time interval through Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored from the penalty spot.

The European champions stepped up the pressure in the second half, but Spurs defended resolutely, and deservedly picked up a point.

The result (plus Borussia Dortmund’s 1-1 draw against Apoel) puts Spurs in a great position to qualify for the knock out stages.

Former Spurs player Graham Roberts was pleased with Moussa Sissoko’s performance, and praised him on social networking site Twitter.

The 28-year-old looks like a player reborn this season, and has already put up some eye-catching performances.

Roberts said that Sissoko is “really looking a new player”, and has praised the fans for encouraging the players throughout.

He made three tackles, two clearances, and made 27 passes in the game with 81.5% passing accuracy, according to whoscored.com.
