'When he gets angry he plays with a chip on his shoulder': Owen Hargreaves lauds Dele Alli for showing physical edge with two assists in Tottenham's Europa League win over Ludogorets as exile under Spurs boss Jose Mourinho continues

Owen Hargreaves pinpointed Dele Alli as Tottenham's standout player in their comfortable 4-0 win over Ludogorets in the Europa League on Thursday.

The Spurs midfielder, who has not featured in Jose Mourinho's Premier League matchday squad since the start of October, assisted twice for Carlos Vinicius in the first-half and was a constant threat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday.

Before the Ludogorets game, Alli had featured in four matches for Spurs since the start of the season and was hauled off at half-time in half of them, with Hargreaves noticing that there is an angrier player on the pitch nowadays.
