Tottenham young gun Dele Alli took to social media to express his delight at winning his first England senior call.

The 19-year-old midfielder was selected by Roy Hodgson for upcoming Euro2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania just hours before gracing the pitch for Spurs in their eventual 1-1 Europa League draw at Monaco.

Alli admitted he and his teammates could have done better to secure all three points in the principality but rejoiced at the news of landing his very first national team inclusion.

Fans were brilliant again tonight, shame we're not taking all 3 points home.. Now to focus on The next game
