Moussa Sissoko believes Tottenham's recent slump is just temporary and insists they can still turn around their 1-0 Europa League defeat against Gent.

Spurs have managed only two victories in their last six, having won their previous seven matches in a row.

"We won seven games in a row so it was a good performance," Sissoko said.

"Everyone knows how we play and they try to give 100 per cent against Tottenham.

"We saw it against Gent - it was a hard game and they won but like I said it's only the first battle, we have another one soon so we have to do everything to get through to the next round.

"Every team we play has a different style but we have a philosophy of how to play. Sometimes it's working, sometimes it is a little bit harder, like against Gent.

"We still keep going in that way because that is how we work and how we did well in the past. It's just a bad moment but we will come back stronger."
