Dele Alli posts message on Twitter after Tottenham win vs Newcastle

Tottenham Hotspur opened their 2018-19 Premier League campaign with a 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday at St James’ Park.

Spurs were far from their best but Mauricio Pochettino’s side did enough to pick up all three points against Rafael Benitez’s side.

Jan Vertonghen opened the scoring for Spurs inside the first 10 minutes before Joselu levelled for the Magpies with a glancing header. However, Spurs quickly regained their lead after Dele Alli scored a free header from six yards out.

The 22-year-old later took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction.
