Tottenham 3-2 Southampton: Spurs deserve a trophy, says Dele Alli
Dele Alli says Tottenham "deserve a trophy" as they seek to end their 12-year wait for silverware.
Spurs, who scored two late goals to beat Southampton 3-2 on Wednesday to reach the FA Cup fifth round, have won nothing since they lifted the League Cup in 2008.
"For the fans, we have to win something," said the 23-year-old.
"We deserve a trophy, it's been a long time coming, but no-one's going to give it to us and we have to keep pushing."
As well as losing 2-0 to Liverpool in last June's Champions League final, Tottenham finished second in the Premier League in 2016-17 and have reached the semi-finals of a domestic cup competition in each of the past three seasons.
They trailed 2-1 against the Saints in their home FA Cup fourth-round replay before Lucas Moura equalised in the 78th minute and Son Heung-min converted an 87th-minute penalty to take them into the last 16.
"It says a lot about the great character we have," added Alli on BT Sport. "We are one of the best teams in the world in the years we have been together."
