Sessegnon hails Spurs teammate Bentancur: He never stops running

Ryan Sessegnon hailed matchwinner Rodrigo Bentancur after Tottenham's victory at Bournemouth.

While the majority of Spurs' squad is struggling to hit top form, Bentancur is rapidly improving but, unlike some, appears to be holding nothing back for the World Cup.

And he struck a late winner to complete Tottenham's comeback on Saturday.

“He runs everywhere," said Sessegnon. “He probably has the lowest body fat per cent of anyone at the club.

"He's a tremendous footballer, a very good athlete and very important player for us.

"He's obviously a very good midfield player, very composed. You saw it with the finish, he could have easily been rash and put it over the bar but he showed composure to guide it into the net. It was a very important moment."
