Tottenham caretaker boss Mason praises Alli after Leeds defeat

Tottenham caretaker boss Ryan Mason praised Dele Alli after defeat at Leeds United.

He said it was Alli's job to make assists and challenged him to keep working hard because of the competition for places.

“He created a moment, which created a goal for us in the first half," he said. “As a No 10 that's part of your job, that's what you need to do in the attacking third of the pitch.

“I've said all along we've got many attacking players competing for places so it's a good training week coming up."
