We may have a new candidate for the Premier League’s goal of the season.
Tottenham was locked in a tie Saturday with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park when midfielder Dele Alli put the Spurs in front with what only can be described as a sensational goal.
In the 84th minute, Alli controlled a pass in midair, calmly flicked the ball over a charging Eagles defender and uncorked a rocket that sailed into the lower left corner of the net.

Alli’s fancy footwork deserves another look.

The 19-year-old’s incredible strike, which helped lift Tottenham to a 3-1 win, even drew praise from former Tottenham legend Gareth Bale.
What a goal that is! Dele Alli 🙌🏻
