Tottenham's Dele Alli: Positive results will come at Wembley 'soon'

BURTON-ON-TRENT, England -- Dele Alli says Tottenham's miserable form at Wembley is nothing to worry about and that Mauricio Pochettino's team will make their temporary home a "fortress."

Spurs have won just one of their last 11 games at Wembley, their home for the 2017-18 season while White Hart Lane is being rebuilt, and they have failed to win any of their two Premier League games at the ground so far this term.

A defeat against Chelsea was followed by the weekend draw at home to Burnley, leaving last season's league runners-up sitting in ninth position ahead of the international break.

But Spurs midfielder Alli insists that the team's home results are no cause for alarm, claiming that both Tottenham and England can, and will, make the most of home advantage at Wembley.

"I think both teams, for Tottenham and for England, we need to make the place a fortress, we need to do as well as we can," Alli said. "I think at Tottenham and England we have been playing very well, but more so at Tottenham, the results haven't quite been going our way yet, but I think there's no need to worry.

"I think if we were playing poorly, then it would be something to worry about, but we're playing very well, there's just a few things we need to tighten up on.

"We've been punished for a few, small errors and switching off at the wrong times in the later stages of the game.

"It is important that we work on that and keep improving, but I think the results will be coming soon.

"It is a fantastic stadium. We all love playing there -- all the players here."
