Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli hopes form slump now over

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli hopes victory over Champions League opponents APOEL has snapped their form slump.

Fernando Llorente scored his first goal for Spurs, who were also boosted by Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Son Heung-min, as Mauricio Pochettino's men rubber-stamped their dominance of Group H.

England midfielder told BT Sport: "We wanted to get back to winning ways and we did that tonight.

"Every game's important and from the start of the season we've wanted to win every game but it's not always happened. We take the positives from this and go into the next game.

"We're a very confident side and are disappointed when we don't win games. It's important that as a team we stay together and keep building."
