Dele Alli: Beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge "a great feeling"

Dele Alli says that winning at Stamford Bridge is "a great feeling", but refuses to rule Chelsea out of the mix to finish in the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has insisted that his side were always confident of overcoming Chelsea, despite falling a goal down at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs left the home of their London rivals victorious for the first time in 28 years thanks to a 3-1 comeback win on Sunday afternoon.

Alli netted twice in the space of four second-half minutes to earn the victory after Alvaro Morata's opener was cancelled out by Christian Eriksen.

The Lilywhites now have an eight-point advantage on Chelsea as they attempt to hold down a place in the top four, but matchwinner Alli claims that there is still work to do over the remaining six weeks.

"Anything can happen in the Premier League. We have to make sure we keep getting the points," he told Sky Sports News. "It's a great feeling to win this game. We have a great side and we believe in ourselves.

"We started the game well but we were just not threatening Chelsea enough. It was a great finish by Christian Eriksen to give us belief. I'm delighted to score two but it's more important we defended well after going 3-1 up. It was important we stayed solid at the back."

Alli marked his 100th Premier League outing by scoring twice in a top-flight game for the first time since January 2017 - also against Chelsea.
