Ryan Sessegnon scored for Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Sessegnon, who can operate as a left-back or as left-winger, started for Tottenham against Bayern away from home at the Allianz Arena in Germany in Champions League Group B on Wednesday evening.
The 19-year-old scored a brilliant goal for Spurs in the 20th minute, had another chance, looked very energetic and dynamic in the first half, but he struggled in the second period.
According to WhoScored, the former Fulham star took two shots and both were on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 68.8%, won two headers, took 31 touches, attempted one dribble, and made one tackle and one clearance.
It was quite an encouraging debut in the Champions League from Sessegnon, but Spurs head coach Mourinho believes that he could have done more.
Mourinho said on BT Sport when asked about Sessegnon’s goal: “That’s his quality, that’s a quality that we know he has. He arrives always in dangerous positions, he is a good finisher.
“He has a lot to improve. He lost too many individual duels, he has to learn how to use his body, he was playing against experienced players, Pavard and Boateng coming for cover, so he has a lot to develop, but the potential is there.”
Improvement needed
Sessegnon will be pleased with his goal against Bayern, but it is clear that the teenager still has to do more and improve.
Mourinho publicly pointing out what he did not do right on Wednesday evening is something that the teenager should take on board.
