Dele Alli has told Sky Sports that Tottenham Hotspur teammate Heung-Min Son is one of the fastest players he has ever seen.

Alli and Son were Tottenham’s two goalscorers last night, as they beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Carabao Cup.

The attacking pair both performed brilliantly as Spurs knocked their North London rivals out of the cup and progress.

And Alli was full of praise for his Tottenham teammate after the match.

The England international said: “He’s a passionate guy and at the same time he brings his character out on the pitch. He likes getting at players and attacking players.

“He is so direct. He’s one of the fastest players I’ve ever seen and when he went through we didn’t have any doubts he was going to score.”

Son led the line for Tottenham last night, with Harry Kane starting on the bench due to illness.

The South Korean showed his pace by breaking through Arsenal’s defence in the first half, before finishing neatly beyond Petr Cech.

Spurs then added a second goal just before the hour mark, when Alli clipped the ball beyond Cech and into the back of the net.

Tottenham are now set to take on Chelsea in the semi-final of the competition, as they edge closer to winning their first silverware since 2008.
