Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko hasn’t always been Mr Popular at Spurs, but he had a storming game against Chelsea on Saturday.
Watch the video clip below as the Frenchman made up tremendous ground to race back and absolutely clatter Blues midfielder Mateo Kovacic with a superb crunching tackle.
Needless to say, Tottenham fans – and probably a fair few neutrals too – absolutely loved it, with the incident getting plenty of love on Twitter afterwards, as well as a general shock at seeing Sissoko play so well in such a big game…
Sissoko with the tackle of the match so far !

Son’s wonder goal was great, but my moment of the match was Sissoko clattering Kovacic

That’s a simply incredible tackle from Moussa Sissoko to deny Mateo Kovacic advancing forward for Chelsea.
The midfielder is having yet another terrific game for Tottenham Hotspur in the heart of our midfield.#THFC #COYS
