After a 4-2 loss to Arsenal in the weekend’s Premier League fixture, Tottenham faced their North London rivals again in the mid-week Carabao Cup match. This time they recorded a 2-0 win with winger Dele Alli playing a starring part in the victory. However, there was an incident during the match involving Alli. The English player was struck by a bottle of water while standing in front of away fans. Dele then stunned the Arsenal fans when he epically replied by holding up his hands showing the 2-0 score line. His response shut up the noisy away fans much to the delight of the home fans.
