Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli questioned his side's mental strength after RB Leipzig cruised to a 3-0 win on Tuesday to progress 4-0 on aggregate to the quarter-finals for the first time.

Leipzig captain Marcel Sabitzer struck twice in the first 21 minutes before substitute Emil Forsberg added the third late on with his first touch.

"We were second to a lot of balls. To concede them goals shows our mentality wasn't strong enough," added Alli.

"We had to show maturity and fight and we didn't do that and we were punished."
"It's totally deserved we go to the next round. We were the better team, scored four goals, conceded none, so we are very happy."
