Tottenham’s Dele Alli was back with a positive individual performance despite losing to Southampton at the weekend and the signs are looking good.

Spurs have a huge run of fixtures from now until the end of the season, where they face a real fight for a top four finish in the Premier League and also have the Champions League quarter-finals.

The North London club are going to need their elite players to step up and also help them address their inconsistent form of late.

Alli was back from his thigh injury to provide an assist and was one of the brightest players on the pitch against Southampton.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder could prove vital for Mauricio Pochettino’s side and the manager can be thrilled with the signs that he will be straight back to his best.

Alli has a knack of scoring in big games, with Arsenal and Chelsea both victims already this season.

The England international also netted against the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United during the 2017/18 campaign.

Alli can be a real driving force in the closing months to try help Spurs achieve their goals and it’s a real boost that he won’t need edging back into the XI.
