Moussa Sissoko started for Tottenham Hotspur during their 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Moussa Sissoko has promised on Instagram that he will score a goal before his Tottenham Hotspur teammate Serge Aurier, who thought he scored against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Heung-Min Son netted a brace for Spurs as they put four goals past Roy Hodgson’s side, with Aurier’s strike being awarded as a Patrick van Aanholt own goal and Erik Lamela also getting on the scoresheet.
The Spurs supporters have been willing Sissoko on for some time to score, but he hasn’t been able to find any luck in front of goal – it has been two years since Sissoko scored a goal for the club.
Nonetheless, as posted on his personal Instagram account, Sissoko was asked about his goalscoring by a Tottenham supporter.
Even though Sissoko joined Spurs in 2016, it wasn’t until last season when he showcased his true worth in the middle of the park.
Last season, he played a key part in Mauricio Pochettino’s side reaching the Champions League final in Madrid.
On Wednesday, Spurs will once again begin their European adventure when they take on Olympiacos in Greece, as they are hoping to start of the group stages in a more positive fashion than they did last time out
Right-back Aurier, who joined Spurs for £23 million from PSG in 2017 [BBC Sport], only made his first league start at the weekend, and with Pochettino having limited numbers in that area, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him in the starting XI once again.
