Dele Alli saluted Tottenham Hotspur’s stunning 3-1 victory over Champions League holders Real Madrid as a sign of the club’s arrival as rivals to the established continental heavyweights.
England midfielder Alli scored twice, either side of half-time, and Christian Eriksen was also on target at a jubilant Wembley on Wednesday as Spurs claimed a famous win over the 12-time European champions.
It took Spurs into the last 16 with two games to spare and left Mauricio Pochettino’s side three points clear of Madrid at the Group H summit.
“It was a fantastic display by us,” Alli told BT Sport.
“We knew if we stuck to our game plan and were solid at the back then we’d get chances. We’re very happy with the result.
“We don’t want to just compete with these teams — we want to beat them. I’m happy to get two goals, but more importantly it was a win.”
