Eric Dier insists Dele Alli brings different dimension to Tottenham's attack after Ryan Mason brings forward in from the cold after he was frozen out by ex-boss Jose Mourinho

Tottenham defender Eric Dier says Dele Alli brought a different dimension to his side in the 4-0 Premier League win against Sheffield United.

Alli has endured a difficult season having been frozen out by former boss Jose Mourinho, but Ryan Mason handed him just a third league start of the season against the Blades in a front four with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale.

It was an impressive attacking display by Spurs, with Alli - albeit a but rusty at times - playing a crucial link in the No 10 role.
