Horror Goalkeeping Mistake Gifts Alli Spurs Opener, Celebrates With Fornite Dance

Tottenham Hotspur capitalised on a howler by Watford goalkeeper Orestis Karnezisk, with Dele Alli topping off the extraordinary moment by doing a brilliant Fortnite celebration.

The Tottenham Hotspur attacker has been streaming his playing of Fortnite to delighted online users and he's clearly been taken in by the game, celebrating his side's opening goal by using the dance move used in the game.

But his goal was more the fault of Watford keeper Karnezik than anything else. The Greek stop-stopper seemed to have collected an in-coming cross from Kerian Trippier quite easily, bringing the ball towards his chest to keep hold of it, but all of a sudden, the ball bounced away from him, and Spurs pounced.

Christian Eriksen brilliantly pinged the loose ball away, out the vicinity of the goalkeeper and into the path of Alli, who buried the ball in the back of the net clinically, punishing the opponents for their mistake.

The Fortnite celebration by Alli was the icing on the cake. But he's not the first one to do it. France international Antonine Griezmann celebrated in Fortnite style in his side's 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the Europa League first leg.

And supporters are absolutely loving it.
