​Tottenham's Alli named Premier League player of the month

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has been named Premier League player of the month for January.

The 20-year-old England star was at the centre of a superb month for second-placed Tottenham, scoring five times in the league as they emerged as Chelsea's closest challengers.

"It's a real honour. I think the whole team played brilliantly this month. We really played well as a team and we've clicked really well," Alli said.

"[My favourite goals] I'd probably say the two against Chelsea just because of how big the game was for us and for the fans as well. To score and win was a great feeling."
