Mauricio Pochettino praises "tremendous" Dele Alli goal

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has praised Dele Alli for his contribution after his side defeated London rivals Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park this afternoon.

The 19-year-old put Spurs in front in the 84th minute with a finish that is already being tipped as the goal of the season and after the match, Pochettino claimed that it would make headlines around the world.

"He showed tremendous quality, it will be shown around the world on every TV," he told reporters. "It was fantastic. I am very pleased because it was a difficult game. [Palace] had a clear week to prepare, we played against Leicester in the FA Cup [on Wednesday]. I'm pleased because the performance and effort was fantastic from the squad.

"I think Dele shows his quality in every game. He's capable of that. He has fantastic potential, [he's] difficult to price like Harry Kane. They have big potential because they are very young. We need to keep working hard."

The result solidified Spurs at fourth in the table, five points clear of Manchester United and five behind leaders Leicester City.
