Tottenham fans absolutely love what Dele Alli did after scoring vs Arsenal
TOTTENHAM supporters will have loved the passion shown by Dele Alli after he scored against Arsenal.
The midfielder was at the centre of attention in the second half.
Son Heung-min gave Spurs the lead in the first half when he finished confidently past Petr Cech.
After the interval, Alli collected a superb pass from Harry Kane before lobbing the Arsenal goalkeeper.

The 22-year-old then ran over to the travelling Tottenham faithful before thumping the badge on his chest.
He wasn’t the only Spurs player to do the gesture, his Korean team-mate also patted the crest after the opener.
One fan loved the celebration: “That was absolute class from Dele Alli, what is it with the Spurs players tapping the badge tonight, first Son and now Alli.”
Another added: “Alli and Son with the badge. Tears.”
A third said: “Both @dele_official and Son’s celebrations got me fired up! What a performance.”
After play resumed, the England international was then struck by a plastic bottle on the touchline.
Alli has been known for having a hot head, he responded by turning round to the area of fans where the bottle was thrown from and gestured ‘2-0’ with his fingers.
The goalscorer was involved in confrontation with Granit Xhaka towards the end of the match after being booked for time-wasting.
Dion Dublin was watching the action for the BBC and condemned the fan who threw the bottle.
“It's sad to see. It's mindless,” he said.
“Why would you do that? It must have had water or something in it to reach Dele Alli.
“Why would you risk being idiots?
“Just support your club, don't do ridiculous things like that.
“Let's not give it any more time discussing it.”
