# Tottenham: Fans heap praise on Dele Alli despite Liverpool defeat

**Lots of Tottenham fans have been showing their support for midfielder Dele Alli despite his side’s [1-0](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3055956) defeat to Liverpool on Saturday evening.**

The 23-year-old found himself on the losing side against the Reds once more as they were unable to break down their resolute defence, which sees them lie in 8th place in the Premier League table.

A first-half strike from Roberto Firmino meant that Spurs are now without a win in their last four games in all competitions, as per [Fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/teams/8586/fixtures).

> Lads couldn’t have worked harder today. Frustrating game against a good side. Thanks for home support, fans were class. [#COYS](https://twitter.com/hashtag/COYS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

The England international played the full 90 minutes despite his efforts failing to provide a significant opening for Jose Mourinho’s team.

He has scored seven goals in 22 appearances in all competitions during the current campaign and the attacking midfielder is valued at £81m, as per [TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dele-alli/profil/spieler/207929).
