Jose Mourinho gushes over Tottenham's 'amazing' Dele Alli

Jose Mourinho's dream start as Tottenham manager continued and he had high praise for the "amazing" Dele Alli, who scored twice in a 3-2 victory at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.

The win marked a third-successive victory for the Portuguese since replacing Mauricio Pochettino and Mourinho said pushing him further up the pitch -- a position he played in the early days under the Argentine coach -- has been key.

"For me Dele is not a midfielder. He needs to be playing where he is, right behind Harry Kane," Mourinho said.
