Tottenham Hotspur prevailed 2-0 at the Emirates this evening as they booked their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
One man who was instrumental in the win was 22-year-old Dele Alli, who had a hand in both goals for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
In the first half Alli was the provider, threading through an inch perfect pass for Heung Min Son, who gobbled up the chance to give his team the lead.
The second goal of the afternoon came from Alli himself, who was released by a through ball from substitute Harry Kane and finished superbly past Petr Cech in goal:
The first touch ?
The finish ?Revenge tastes sweet for @SpursOfficial at the Emirates...

The England international was also hit by an object thrown by a supporter from the stand in the second half, and though the Spurs forward did not make a big deal at the time there will surely be sanctions brought forward against the fan in the wake of the incident.

An unsavoury incident at the Emirates as Dele is struck by an object thrown from the crowd.
He responds with '2-0' sign with his hands before Kane diffuses the situation. ✌???
