Dele Alli has received a considerable amount of criticism this season, with the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder having produced some rather underwhelming performances.

However, there have been some encouraging signs of late to suggest that Alli is now over his dip in form and is ready to make a major impact for Mauricio Pochettino’s side in the second half of the season.

After producing an encouraging display in the 3-0 victory away to Burnley on Saturday, Alli proceeded to find the net as Tottenham dispatched of Southampton with a 5-2 win yesterday; his first Premier League goal since the victory over Liverpool in October.

Alli delivered an excellent all-round performance as he linked play effectively and pushed forwards to support the attack, and it is hoped that he will now continue to play in such a manner on a regular basis.

Tottenham know that they must perform consistently in the intense battle to secure a place in the top four, while they will also be aiming to make a major impact in the Champions League and the FA Cup.
