Olivier Giroud scored a stunning overhead kick on Tuesday in the Champions League which allowed the 34 year-old to get his best numbers. Dele Alli saw what he did and wanted to do it himself for Tottenham in the Europa League.
The Spurs midfielder got on the end of a Matt Doherty cross from right hand side to control inside the area and then score with an overhead kick with his back to goal.
The ball went away from the goalie and Kuttin was unable to be do anything to prevent the English side getting the first goal of the game. The match is taking place on Wednesday as Arsenal were due to be at home against Benfica on Thursday. In the end, they are playing in Athens.
Despite the fact Mourinho spoke to him when he arrived and tried to get the player back to his best, Dele Alli has not gained the confidence of the Portuguese coach. Mourinho has started him just eight times this season. He has scored three goals and given two assists in a little over 600 minutes.
