Tottenham star Dele Alli is vastly outperforming a dazzling array of England midfield legends after 100 Premier League games, new statistics have revealed.
Alli celebrated his 100th Premier League appearance for Tottenham with two goals in a 3-1 win over Chelsea last weekend to earn their first victory away to the Blues since 1990.
It was a standout performance from the 21-year-old, who had been left fearing for his place in the England squad ahead of this summer's World Cup after playing just 22 minutes across two games during the international break.

| David Beckham | 100 | 21 | 22 | 43 |
| Paul Scholes | 100 | 26 | 8 | 34 |
| Steven Gerrard | 100 | 11 | 13 | 24 |
| Frank Lampard | 100 | 12 | 6 | 18 |
But not only did it deliver a timely message to Gareth Southgate, it further cemented his place as one of the Premier League's most productive attacking midfielders with 61 goal contributions (36 goals, 25 assists) to his name already.
