Europa League: Dele Alli Shines As Spurs Complete Wolfsberger Rout

  Europa League: Dele Alli Shines As Spurs Complete Wolfsberger Rout By Our Reporter Dele Alli proved he has his mojo back as he scored a stunning overhead kick and provided two assists to send Tottenham through to the Europa League last 16 in a 4-0 second-leg win over Wolfsberger. Alli has had a season to forget having been frozen out by boss, Jose Mourinho, but enjoyed the best night of his reintegration to the squad following a failed January transfer window exit. The England international produced a superb goal and then set up Carlos Vinicius, who added a late second, and Gareth Bale as Spurs made it through to Friday’s draw for the next round with an 8-1 aggregate win. There is some mitigation in the fact he was playing against the lowest-ranked opposition left in the Europa League, but it is a big step forward and he could yet have a big impact this season. Mourinho, who remains under pressure following a dismal run of Premier League form, has targeted winning this competition as a route into the Champions League and will be hoping the draw is kind to him as there are no seedings or territorial restrictions, meaning the likes of Manchester United or AC Milan could be opponents in the next round. Alli has always been capable of the spectacular with memorable goals at Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Manchester United among a strong highlight reel, and in the 10th minute he produced a new addition. With his back to goal around 15 yards out, his control from Matt Doherty’s fizzing cross saw the ball bounce above his head and he waited for it to drop before sending an overhead kick looping into the far corner. That moment of brilliance lit up what was an otherwise drab half, which Spurs dominated but could not find a way through. It was not until the final few minutes of the opening 45 that they had chances to go further ahead.
