José Mourinho's team beat Wolfsberger 4-0 in the rematch of the round of 32 and headed the series against the Austrians. However, the bulky result in the first leg (4-1) anticipated that Tottenham would prevail in their stadium, and would be the one to qualify for the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League. Nevertheless, the surprise of the night came after 10 minutes of play, when Dele Alli flew through the air, to score a sensational volley goal that would open the scoring.

Nothing happened at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, until Matt Doherty sent a cross to the penalty spot, and the 24 years old, Dele Alli, lifted the ball and defined as a superb overhead against the goalkeeper's right post. In this way, the footballer returned to the goal after almost three months of drought. Yesterday, Oliver Giroud scored a very similar goal to give Chelsea the victory, 1-0 against Atletico Madrid.

The attacking midfielder scored his first goal in 2021 to put pressure on a coach who does not take him into account in the season. In fact, in the current 2020/21 campaign, between injuries and decisions by Mourinho, he missed 24 games. In addition, he has just scored 3 goals this season, all in the Europa League. In total, Dele Alli only played 16 games this season, between the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and EFL Cup. However, only five times did he play more than 45 minutes. What´s on, four times he was on the court for 20 minutes or less. In this way, the little relevance it has within the coach's plans is evident.

Of course there was no grand plan to get to this stage of the season with Alli still yet to complete a full 90 minutes. Indeed tonight's exceptional display by him in a 4-0 victory over Austrian side Wolfsberger AC, in which he scored a brilliant opener and laid on further goals for Carlos Vinicius and Gareth Bale, served rather more as a critique of Mourinho, who will have to explain how is it possible that a manager gave up such an exceptional talent so quickly.

Will he continue him´s career in France?

While Mourinho gives Alli a little place in his scheme, the footballer is in the sights of Paris Saint Germain. It turns out that the footballer is one of Mauricio Pochettino's wishes, who led him to his best performance during his time at Spurs. In this way, the midfielder could emigrate to Ligue 1 together with his teammate Hugo Lloris, another emblem of that team that put the coach at the height of the most important leaders in the world.
