After a difficulty in the first half, the 22-year-old finally made his mark on the scoreboard with a header from Jesse Lingard, sending England to his first World Cup semi-final since 1990.
It's always fun to score, especially on occasions like this. I do not think this is my best performance on the pitch, but to score goals is remarkable and bringing the team and the country into the semi-finals brings a feeling of fun, "Alli told the BBC.
"It's a relief. It's important that we have confidence in playing the gameplan, playing as we want and how to do it, dominating the ball possession, but also to be patient. Sweden have proven themselves in other matches that they are difficult to deal with.
"This is a great achievement for the team. We owe it to the fans at home because they already support us. This is a great performance [of the team]. "
