Moussa Sissoko completed 90 minutes in the draw at home to Arsenal on Saturday – and some Tottenham fans on Twitter raved about the quality of his performance.

Spurs drew 1-1 against Arsenal at Wembley, as Harry Kane’s penalty cancelled out Aaron Ramsey’s first-half strike.

But Hugo Lloris had to be the savour at the end when he saved Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty, before defender Jan Vertonghen eventually cleared off the line from the rebound.

The North London derby ended a stalemate, but third-placed Spurs still remain four points ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal.

Many Spurs fans were delighted with the contribution of midfielder Sissoko, who was one of the better players in a team that did lack a little fight at times.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side had lost back-to-back games to Burnley and Chelsea previously, but at least ended that streak.

Sissoko once again proved his importance to the team with tireless running in the centre of the park and his improvement this season is remarkable.

The 29-year-old is an all-action central midfielder that always impact big games now and one fan even suggested he has to “babysit” for right-back Kieran Trippier, who does get caught out of position defensively at times.

Here are some of the Spurs fans praising Sissoko:
