Here is your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest for Thursday, February 25.
Alli shines in Wolfsberger rout
Spurs cruised into the last-16 of the UEFA Europa League last night, comfortably beating Wolfsberger 4-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ensuring they won the two-legged affair 8-1 on aggregate.
Two goals from Carlos Vinicius, a spectacular effort from Dele Alli and a composed finish from Gareth Bale sealed a comfortable evening's work for Jose Mourinho's side.
In total, following Sunday's 2-1 reverse to West Ham United, Mourinho made nine changes, with only Eric Dier and Erik Lamela surviving the chop. Of the nine players that did come into the team, it was Dele that stood head and shoulders above the rest.
The England international scored a sensational overhead-kick before teeing up Vinicius and Bale to score in the second half.
His contributions earned him a ten out of ten in our player ratings as he sent a timely reminder to Mourinho of the qualities he brings to the table when called upon.
Grealish sends message to Alli after wonder goal
Although no Tottenham supporters were present inside the stadium yesterday evening to enjoy Dele Alli's spectacular goal with him, no shortage of those watching at home soon flooded social media with comments and exasperated reactions.
It was a strike capable of bringing anyone to their feet, most probably even opposing supporters had there been any inside the stadium.
Dele's heroics even caught the attention of England team-mate and Aston Villa ace Jack Grealish, who soon took to Instagram to wax lyrical about the attacking-midfielder's strike.
Grealish wrote: "Naaaaaah @dele," suggesting that he could not believe what the former MK Dons man had just done.
