Tottenham v Wolfsberger player ratings: A stunning 9 for Dele Alli after a return to his 'amazing' best

Spurs stroll past Austrians into last 16 of the Europa League

Jose Mourinho says it is "amazing" to have Dele Alli back to his best after he scored a brilliant overhead kick and set up two goals in Tottenham's 4-0 Europa League win over Wolfsberger.

Alli scored a special opener in the 10th minute and then set up both Carlos Vinicius, who added a late second, and Gareth Bale as Spurs made it through to the last 16 with an 8-1 aggregate victory over the Austrian side.

It has been a difficult season for Alli, having been frozen out by Mourinho, but he enjoyed the best night of his reintegration to the squad following a failed January transfer window exit.

"The goal I don't need to speak, because everyone watched it and I believe that all around the world on all these sports TV, people are going to watch it, no need to talk about it," Mourinho said. "But for me the globality of the performance is what matters.

"In this moment when we are going to play every three days, 10 matches in March, to have Dele back at this level is amazing."
