England looked set for more international heartbreak as Croatia were leading in their UEFA Nations League game.
The hosts then turned things up a notch after Jesse Lingard scored the equaliser and Tottenham star Harry Kane got the winner.
The England captain turned saviour for the side again, but another Tottenham man also turned the game on its head with his arrival.
Dele Alli didn’t start in the important clash against the Croatians but came on with around 30 minutes remaining in the tie.
The Englishman didn’t score or grab an assist but his attacking display helped England to the semi-finals of the competition.
The 22-year-old has struggled for goals and assists this season, but this performance certainly led to several Tottenham fans applauding the youngster.
As soon as you joined, the English game got more creative. Well played
