Former Tottenham defender Graham Roberts was following the match, and he took to Twitter to give his reaction to the final result.

Alli is one of the best young players in the Premier League and is a key figure in the current Tottenham team.

The former Milton Keynes Dons has not exactly been in great form so far this season, but as he showed against West Brom, the 20-year-old is a player who is only going to get better.

The midfielder is very special and exciting footballer, and Spurs fans should be pleased that he is part of their team.
