It was just over a month ago when Tottenham Hotspur lost away at Liverpool and the entire footballing world was talking about Dele Alli, for all the wrong reasons. Dele Alli’s meteoric rise had stagnated. Not only did he not grow, but his performance levels also kept dropping. Alli did not score or assist like he used to, neither did he make the often destructive runs into the opposition box nor did he press as intensely as he did. His enigma had dropped, more than anything else.
But there was a reason for the goal numbers to drop.
