Dele Alli was praised to the rafters by the Turkish media after starring on his Besiktas debut in their 3-1 win against Sivasspor.

The 26-year-old delivered a dazzling performance during his 78 minutes on the field after he was named in the starting XI for a game for just the third time this year.
