Alli and Nigerian-born striker Alfred Effiong both made the starting line-up for their respective nations, but it was the Spurs star that stole the show when he put the Young Lions 2-0 up in the 38th minute.
Five minutes before full time, the former MK Dons starlet almost made it 3-0 but but somehow managed to miss the target after Rashford directed a ball squarely in the box.
Whilst Balzan star Effiong departed the hallowed Wembley turf in the 76th minute in what appeared to be a tactical substitution, Dele played the full game.
England now sit in first place in Group F with six points in the kitty ahead of Scotland’s match with Lithuania on Saturday night.
