Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko has dismissed criticism over a stamp on Daniel James.

Sissoko clashed with James this week in China as Spurs lost to Manchester United.

However, the France international insisted on RMC: "When we play football, there is always fighting with the opponents.

"You try to be better than him and to have the ball. It's football, there's always a fight.

"It's not a dance, it's very different."
