This made me laugh.There was a moment against Germany, when Dele Alli turned two defenders with one jink, that it hit you. He is special.
It's not the fact he's scored 1 in 2 in the Premier League this season that makes him special, it's not the Goal of the Season he scored last year, or indeed any of the other great goals he's scored, it's not the fact that he's outperforming almost any other Premier League player at his age in the past, it's not the screamer he scored on his England debut against France. None of this makes him realise Alli is special. No, it was dribbling past a player.
