Dele Alli should have put Tottenham two goals ahead when he had 'so much time' with a golden chance against Liverpool, insists Jermain Defoe... as the ex-Spurs striker claims goalkeeper Alisson showed him where to shoot

Dele Alli was given a huge hint by goalkeeper Alisson when he missed a glorious chance to put Tottenham 2-0 up against Liverpool, Jermain Defoe has claimed.

With 30 minutes gone and Spurs a goal ahead through Harry Kane's early opener, midfielder Alli raced the length of the pitch to put himself in a dream position to convert inside the penalty area from a Son Heung-min pass.

Alli attempted a diagonal shot that replays showed had been faintly touched by Alisson on its way beyond a post.
