Mauricio Pochettino believes Arsenal fans should be thankful that Dele Alli didnt overplay the bottle-throwing incident which soured last nights north London derby win.
Goals from Son Heung-Min and Alli helped Spurs book a place in a two-legged semi-final against Chelsea and gain instant revenge for their 4-2 defeat at the Emirates three weeks ago.
After scoring a sensational match-clinching goal, Alli was later struck on the head by a bottle thrown from the crowd but remained on his feat before taunting the opposing fans by reminding them of the scoreline.

In another country maybe player go down on the pitch and create a big problem. Dele is so honest and professional.
