Moussa Sissoko has received a lot of flak throughout his tenure with Tottenham Hotspur and has largely gone under the radar due to his inconsistency. The hefty-price tag with which he arrived in north London did not help him either with many people suggesting that Newcastle committed daylight robbery on Daniel Levy.

However, the Frenchman was preferred to Harry Winks in midfield against Chelsea and he conjured probably his best ever performance for Tottenham in recent memory. Sissoko was instrumental in the middle of the park and might have even covered every single blade of grass for the hosts as he did the dirty work of chasing down and winning back possession for the creative players to thrive on the ball.

The midfielder recycled possession effectively and continuously put Chelsea on the back foot while also putting the ball on a plate for Harry Kane to register Tottenham's fourth goal, but the striker scooped his shot over the bar.

Sissoko has been in fine form lately, but most of his hard work goes unnoticed and his stock has subsequently suffered as a result although that was not the case against Chelsea.
