Alli scored a quick-fire brace to help Spurs to three points
Dele Alli put his disappointment at not featuring for England against Italy behind him on Saturday as he struck a brace against Chelsea to secure victory for Spurs.
The game was finely poised moving into the second half after Christian Eriksen's stunner cancelled out Alvaro Morata's opener.
Just after the hour mark, Alli took centre stage, latching onto a long ball from close friend Eric Dier to take a touch and lift the ball over the head of Willy Caballero to give Spurs the lead.
Alli 2-1 62:
Alli's return to form is good news for both England and Spurs, with everyone keen to see him recover the sort of performance level that saw him plunder 18 Premier League goals last season from midfield.
The brace takes Alli to eight goals and ten assists in 30 Premier League games so far this season and it was made all the more special as it came on his 100th appearance in the English top flight.
