Spurs fans were treated to a video of Dele Alli’s goal against Crystal Palace from the win at Selhurst Park in 2016.
Spurs’ official Twitter page quoted the goal, in which Alli superbly turned and volleyed the ball in from 25 yards to give Spurs the lead, in a game which eventually finished 3-1. The goal came from Leicester’s title-winning season of 2015/16, where Spurs were beaten to top spot by Claudio Ranieri’s side by 11 points.
Alli is now beginning to show some of the form he showed that season in this year’s campaign, with the 23-year-old looking like a completely different player since the arrival of Jose Mourinho in November. The former MK Dons has been impressive in each of Mourinho’s games in charge so far; not dropping below a 7.0 rating and certainly looks back to his best after an injury disrupted his start to the season under Mauricio Pochettino.
Was Alli's goal vs Palace the Spurs goal of the decade?
Yes
No

Spurs fans were clearly delighted with the video of Alli’s goal against Palace and will be hoping that the 23-year-old can produce similar moments of magic in upcoming games.
What do we think?
Alli’s goal showed unbelievable skill and technique and he did it when he was just 19-years-old. The England international has been sensational under Mourinho so far and it looks as if he’s on track to become one of the world’s best in his position.
