What did he do for the rest of the game?
It's not enough in such a key position. Compare him to Silva (either one) or De Bruyne, give them an inch and they'll punish you. A constant thorn in the opposing side's ribs. The number 10 needs to be a player that you need to be constantly worried about to give the players up front some space.
Why do Kane, Son and Moura get marked out of games? Because defenders don't worry about any type of guile from our current midfield so just stay in position and double up on everyone else. You don't need to mark Alli because he's unlikely to punish you outside of the 18 yard box.
Classic player is shit because they aren't as good as the best players I can think of argument.
