Spurs fans have flocked to a tweet from Ryan Sessegnon following the 3-2 FA Cup replay win over Southampton on Wednesday night.
The 19-year-old tweeted following the game discussing the performance, as well as the injury suffered by James Ward-Prowse, who was stretchered off in the first half. The former Fulham man has struggled to establish himself in the Spurs side since joining in the summer, with the youngster making just eight starts in all competitions, though he has been a regular under Jose Mourinho in the FA Cup.
With new signing Steven Bergwijn unavailable, it was no surprise to see the England U21 international given the nod by Mourinho and he produced a solid display; earning a 7/10 rating from Football.london. The youngster showed his attacking intent as a left-wing back against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side and was also praised for his defensive ability.
Should Sessegnon start against Villa on Sunday?
Yes
No

Great work down the left tonight, when you are playing ahead of Ben D down that wing things will be better IMHO. Keep striving for greatness, enjoy your holiday, some big cup games to look forward to #COYS

These Spurs fans clearly enjoyed Sessegnon’s performance and will be hoping that he continues to improve.
What do we think?
The £31.5 million-rated man has struggled at times for the Lilywhites this season; the teenager has averaged a disappointing 6.41 rating in all competitions (as per WhoScored), but Wednesday night saw him produce ‘one of his best‘ displays of his short Spurs career.
