Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham team that he inherited from Mauricio Pochettino is packed full of talented young players, and Ryan Sessegnon is certainly one of those. The ex-Fulham man is a top talent, but he’s very raw and he showed his naivety against Norwich last night.
70 – Goal for Norwich. Pukki from the spot.

The 18-year-old was following Max Aarons into the Tottenham penalty area in the second half, and with the Lilywhites just 1-0 up Sessegnon made the mistake of diving into a challenge. He missed the ball, caught the man and gave the Canaries a way back into the game.
Fortunately, the Lilywhites and Sessegnon were spared their blushes as Heung-Min Son scored at the other end just nine minutes later, capitalising on a huge slice of luck as Dele Alli’s ball deflected and ballooned over Tim Krul’s head for an open goal, but the fans still had harsh words for Sessegnon.
Should we sign Willian Jose?
Yes
No

Sess has been awful today, he should play on the wing. Ndombele and Gedson should be on instead of Eriksen and Dier

Sessengon looks shook on the ball. Needs to grow up quick. Football waits for no one, he looks like he’s got talent but needs to offer more

Stop playing Sess in games we need to win. Boy doesn’t have the confidence for it

Sess has been awful throughout

The Lilywhites have got a lot of time for their talented youth but will be eager to see Sessegnon cut out the mistakes.
