It's fair to say that birthday boy Dele Alli has had a fairly busy year.
From going to play at Port Vale for MK Dons in League One this time last year to scoring against Manchester United in front of his adoring fans at White Hart Lane on Sunday, the Tottenham midfielder - who turns 20 on Monday - is now one of England's most talked-about players.
Having made his England debut back in November in spectacular style, Alli is likely to be one of Roy Hodgson's integral players at Euro 2016 this summer as the Three Lions look to finally get their hands on silverware again.
Alli is staying grounded and coping with the pressure of the top-flight spotlight, recognising after Spurs' invaluable 3-0 win against United that his rapid rise is anything but normal for most young players.
But the midfielder's talent, drive and temperament show that even if Spurs lose out on the Premier League title to Leicester, it looks like Mauricio Pochettino has a future star on his hands.
With seven bookings in the league so far it's clear that Alli is still learning his trade, but for now the 20-year-old can sit back and enjoy his birthday.
