Tottenham manager Nuno heaps praise on Dele Alli for Wolves display

Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo has praised Dele Alli for his hard work in in the 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday.

Spurs clinched all three points away from home thanks to an early penalty from Alli.

Asked what he made of of Alli's performance in a deeper role, Nuno said: "He's working very hard. I think all the team is working hard. We still have a long way to go and are working very hard to improve, the relationship between players and being very versatile enough.

"Dele did a very good job and he worked very hard. He scored in the beginning of the game and in the last minutes of the game he was running all over the pitch so that shows the level of fitness that he has and the belief that he has. A huge, huge help.

"All the team worked very hard. You know that it was not the best of our games but when you cannot play as good as you want you need to do your tasks well and the boys did amazing, they did amazing."
