Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts has lauded Moussa Sissoko for his display against Manchester City on Monday night.
Tottenham tried but could not salvage a point against the Premier League holders as a sixth minute Riyad Mahrez goal was enough to hand Pep Guardiola’s side the win.
Sissoko had a difficult start to the season as a hamstring injury kept him out of three games, but he has returned strongly and has started the last three league games for Spurs.
The Frenchman put in a tenacious display and Roberts was quick to acknowledge the effort on Twitter.
“Well done again to Moussa Sissoko.
"The fans [are] really getting behind you and you really were very good tonight”, Roberts wrote.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino threw on Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen late in the game in a bid to salvage a draw, but the opposition defence held on.
The defeat means Spurs remain fifth in the Premier League table, a point behind Arsenal, who are in fourth spot.
Tottenham will now turn their attention to the EFL Cup as they take on West Ham United on Wednesday.
