Dele Alli said being hit by a plastic bottle thrown from the Emirates Stadium stands made scoring in Tottenham's 2-0 Carabao Cup quarter-final win over Arsenal "a little bit sweeter".
Having netted Spurs' second goal shortly before the hour with a sublime chip beyond Petr Cech, England international Alli was struck on the head by the object in the 73rd minute and responded with a '2-0' gesture to the home supporters.
The incident comes after missiles, including a banana skin, were hurled at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang following his converted penalty in Arsenal's 4-2 Premier League win over Tottenham on December 2.
