Dele Alli enjoyed the dream Milton Keynes homecoming as he scored the winning penalty that sent Tottenham past Watford in the Carabao Cup.

Alli, who joined Spurs from MK Dons, returned to his former stomping ground, and having drawn his side level in normal time, then sealed a 4-2 penalty shootout win after a lively finish saw the contest end 2-2 after 90 minutes.

Watford had gone in front 39 seconds into the second half through Isaac Success, but Alli wiped that advantage out from the spot with 10 minutes to go after being fouled by Christian Kabasele, who was sent off.Six minutes later, Spurs, playing at the home of the League Two outfit because Wembley was unavailable, went in front through Erik Lamela, only for their former player Etienne Capoue to level with a heavily deflected effort and send the tie to penalties.

After Paulo Gazzaniga saved from Capoue and Quina, it was left to Alli to send his side through.

The 23,650 fans who travelled up the M1 hoping for entertainment were left wanting in a dull first half which had a distinct testimonial feel to it.
