He's quickly risen from there to starting for Tottenham Hotspur in a North London Derby to starting for England. And in his first start for England, against France, the 19-year-old prodigy did this.

You can't place a shot any better than that. And maybe the best part about this? Alli scored it against Hugo Lloris, his club teammate. Hugo's probably never going to hear the end of this at training.
