Alli disappointed despite scoring in England quarter-final victory

Dele Alli was not pleased with his display in England's World Cup quarter-final victory over Sweden, despite scoring their second goal in the 2-0 win.

Tottenham midfielder Alli's place in the line-up was the subject of much speculation heading into the clash in Samara, but Gareth Southgate used the same XI that started the last-16 triumph over Colombia.

After struggling to make his mark on the game in the first half, the 22-year-old headed Jesse Lingard's cross home to send England into the World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1990.

Although the Three Lions progressed and Alli found the net for the first time in Russia, he felt he could have done more to impact the match.
