Tottenham Hotspur opened their 2017/18 Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over 10-man Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Sunday.
After a stalemate opening first half, Dele Alli put the North London outfit ahead just past the hour mark, and Ben Davies added a second on 70 minutes.
Christian Eriksen swung in a delightful delivery, which was brilliantly anticipated by Alli. The 21-year-old’s intelligent movement behind the goal was praised by fans and pundits alike on social media platforms.
Former England striker and BBC Match of the Day pundit, Gary Lineker, took to social networking site Twitter to express his view on Alli.
