Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko praised for his performance.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko was one of Tottenham’s key players in the midweek win over Manchester City.
Sissoko’s Tottenham won 1-0 with Heung Min Son scoring the goal.
His display earned him praise back in his homeland France.
Respected newspaper Le Figaro praised Sissoko as one of the top players from the Champions League quarter-final ties.
Their editorial described: “Once again, Moussa Sissoko proved that we could count on him.
“The former Toulousain broke the lines while filling the gaps against the Citizens, all with conviction.”
He was not the only Tottenham player to be commended.
Fellow France star Hugo Lloris was also lauded for his ‘beautiful’ first half penalty save from Sergio Aguero.
Sissoko cost Tottenham £30 million in 2016 and he started slowly at the club.
Now he is a key player for the Lilywhites and needs another big performance in the away leg.
