After two mixed years at Nantes, Moussa Sissoko has found a place to fall back following the end of his contract. Indeed, the former French international is back at Watford, the club he left to join the Canaries. Now captain of the Championship club, he stood out this weekend during the 3rd day.
A conclusive return
On the first day, Watford had beaten Milwall, not without difficulty, by a score of 3 to 2. For the second, the Londoners, at home, had largely dominated Stoke City by beating them 3-0. Finally, this Saturday, Moussa Sissoko’s teammates received Derby County for the 3rd day.
Led from the 2nd minute, Watford will finally equalize shortly before half-time thanks to Vakoun Bayo. In a fairly tight match, but slightly dominated by Watford, salvation will come from their captain: Moussa Sissoko.
With only 15 minutes left before the final whistle, Kwadwo Baah bursts through on the right side. The latter passes back, but his cross is pushed back by the defense. However, the ball comes back to the feet of Moussa Sissoko. The former Canary assures with a flat foot, the Derby County goalkeeper is too short. Final score: Watford 2 – 1 Derby County.
In the team of the best French
If L’Équipe publishes the typical Ligue 1 team every week, the daily newspaper also publishes a 11 of the best French people of the weekend. Following his very good match this weekend, Moussa Sissoko had the honor of being part of this 11. He is there alongside players like Antoine Griezmann, William Saliba and André-Pierre Gignac. But also alongside his former teammate Quentin Merlin.
Indeed, the OM full-back put in a very good performance against Reims, notably by providing an assist for former Nantes player Amine Harit.
