To say that the game between Marseille and Tottenham on Tuesday night was of utmost importance to both sides was an understatement.
Both teams needed to win, and, at half-time, the Ligue 1 side had the advantage following a Chancel Mbemba goal, but everything changed in the second part of the game, with Spurs coming back to win the game in the dying moments.
One of the stranger decisions from Antonio Conte in his Tottenham line-up was to deploy Ryan Sessegnon on the right-hand side of the defence, which ended up costing him in the first half.
The left-footer had a 45 minutes to forget, with L’Equipe handing him a 2/10 for his performance.
They point out on their website how bad he was, explaining he was ‘overwhelmed’ by Nuno Tavares, before Conte asked him to swap sides with Ivan Perisic.
That, in itself, ‘wasn’t a triumph’, as he was the one who gave away the corner that led to the Marseille goal.
In the newspaper, L’Equipe, giving him the 2/10, just state he ‘forgot where he lived’, which is their way of saying he was completely lost until he was taken off at half-time.
The 22-year-old has made 13 appearances in all competition for Tottenham this season, scoring two goals in the process.
