Chances were few and far between and it looked certain to remain goalless but with nine minutes left substitute Alli, a new signing from MK Dons last season, stooped to head Tottenham in front.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has taken to Twitter to voice his disappointment after Spurs’ latest underwhelming result in the Premier League.

“In the second half we played much better”.
In my opinion, I don’t think Spurs will make major changes to the side that started against Stoke City. “I think everyone says that we need an offensive player but we need to be more consistent because we conceded a lot of goals last season and scoring wasn’t our problem”.

Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic noticed his brilliant form, and called him up at the very last moment – Mahrez made his debut in late May 2014, just before the squad list for the tournament was finalized.
