Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho refused to be drawn on Dele Alli's performance against Royal Antwerp on Thursday.

Alli made his first start since September as Spurs suffered a shock 1-0 loss to the Belgian outfit.

Asked to rate Alli's performance after the game, Mourinho said: "I don't want to analyse individuals.

"I don't like to do that, especially with you. I think it is fair to say that players with bad performances they influence the team, but also the team influences individual performances. So it is not for me to individualise and to bring some names to the table.

"You prefer to do that than myself, before matches you always ask me why this player is not playing, why this player is not playing, why this player is not selected. Maybe now for a few weeks you don't ask me that because you have the answer."
