This is the moment Dele Alli made his professional debut exactly five years ago today and he instantly showed his tricks.

Last night, the Tottenham midfielder stole the show at Wembley, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Real Madrid.

But on November 2, 2012, Alli got his first taste of life as a footballer, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute for MK Dons in their first-round FA Cup tie away to non‑League Cambridge City.

The 16-year-old showed the 1,564 fans a glimpse of what was to come with his first touch, audaciously, a backheel.

After the 0-0 draw Karl Robinson, then manager of MK Dons and now in charge of Charlton, said: "I was going to throttle him!

"I can’t say what I said but it was along the lines of ‘the cheeky little something or another’.

"It was 0-0 against a team from non-League. In the replay he scored from 35 yards. And I knew the kid had something."

That strike in the replay was the first of 24 goals that Alli scored in 88 games for the League One club and he moved to Tottenham in 2015 for £5million.
