'Alli is one of the best in Europe' - Pochettino heaps praise on Spurs star

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino believes that Dele Alli is already one of the best players in European football, after a strong start to the 2018-19 campaign.

The opening two months of the season have been a mixed bag for Spurs, winning their first three games before embarking on a three-match losing streak in all competitions and finally getting back to winning ways in the past week.

A 2-1 win on the south coast against Brighton last Saturday saw Pochettino's men get back on track in the Premier League, which was followed up by a gruelling penalty shootout victory against Watford in the League Cup on Wednesday.
