Spurs Star Alli Admits He Might Be Criticized For Missing Header Against Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder Dele Alli was impressed with the atmosphere at White Hart Lane in his side's 2-0 win over Arsenal, but has admitted that he might come under severe criticism for missing a a gilt-edged chance in the first half.

The England rising star missed a sitter in the 22nd minute, heading wide from close range after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain got his body across, before making amends for that miss by scoring the opening goal.

''It was incredible. The atmosphere was unbelievable. To win the last north London derby at White Hart Lane is superb,'' Alli said.

''I might be getting some stick for missing that header but more importantly it was a win for us and the fans."

The current PFA Young Player of the Year netted his 17th goal in the top-flight against Arsenal.
