DELE ALLI channelled his inner Olivier Giroud as he fired Tottenham ahead against Wolfsberger with a stunning overhead kick.
Just one day after Giroud scored a sublime bicycle kick in Chelsea’s win over Atletico Madrid, Alli showed the Frenchman he’s not the only one capable of producing moments of magic.

The 24-year-old – making a rare start for the North London outfit – put Spurs ahead in the tenth minute of their Europa League Round of 32 second leg clash.
Alli seized on a low cross whipped in from right-back Matt Doherty, where he took a touch, before finding the top left corner in acrobatic fashion.
It was just his third goal of the season, and he celebrated by performing the peace sign.
Boss Jose Mourinho was delighted by his emphatic strike, as he could be seen applauding the audacious attempt.
Tottenham have been fast starters in games this campaign, with Alli’s opener the 11th goal they have scored in side the opening ten minutes – more than any other Premier League side.
And Alli’s sumptuous goal is clearly the pick of the bunch, with his effort leaving the football world stunned.
Peter Crouch tweeted: “Wow @dele_official just lit up an empty stadium.”
Meanwhile one fan quipped: “Dele saw Giroud’s goal last night and that was enough for him.”

Another said: “That was filth! Take a bow.”
A fourth added: “Could someone please tell us why Jose Mourinho hardly ever plays Dele Alli?”
Meanwhile another stated: “Turns out Dele Alli is actually really good. Who knew?!”
