Dele alli, The 19-year-old scored a stunning volley - easily one of the goals of the season - to help Spurs to a 3-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace
Dele Alli scored one of the goals of the season so far in Tottenham’s victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday - and his sublime effort didn’t escape the attentions of one of the world’s best. With the match finely poised at 1-1, Alli received the ball on the edge of the area, flicked the ball over the onrushing Mile Jedinak, and fired his volley low past Wayne Hennessey.
Evidently, Gareth Bale still keeps track of how Spurs are doing as the Real Madrid star was quick to heap his praise on Alli after his wonder strike at Selhurst Park.

But not everyone was in a jovial mood. Former Spurs chairman Lord Sugar, reckons Alli would be sold this summer if Sir Alex Ferguson were still in charge of Manchester United. If Sir Alex was still in charge of Man U and they were right up there we would never hold on to Dele Alli — Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) January 23, 2016 Aside from Lord Sugar, however, the rest of Twitter were basking in Alli's latest bit of brilliance.
