Newcastle defender was impressed with his former Tottenham teammate.
DeAndre Yedlin left Tottenham Hotspur in the summer to pursue first team opportunities at Newcastle United but still keeps his eye on his former club.
He was watching last night as Spurs took on Chelsea and his former pal Dele Alli put the league leaders to the sword.

Yedlin, 23, was delighted for his former teammate and commented on Twitter to express his excitement.
Alli’s goal was the seventh goal he has scored in his last four games, showing he is back to his very best after a slow start to the season.
The midfielder came off late in the contest, substituted for Moussa Sissoko with Spurs 2-0 up, to rapturous applause fron the Tottenham crowd.
The victory lifted Tottenham above rivals Arsenal and ended Chelsea’s impressive streak of 13 consecutive wins, opening up the Premier League title race in the process.
