The Three Lions boss praised the young Tottenham midfielder after his goal in the win over Les Bleus.
England manager Roy Hodgson says Dele Alli's performance in the 2-0 friendly victory over France was almost "faultless".
The Tottenham midfielder marked a first start for his country with a maiden international goal, finding the top corner with a long-range effort via a slight deflection off Laurent Koscielny.
Wayne Rooney added a second after the break as England made a strong response to their defeat in Spain on Friday, with Hodgson delighted by the display of 19-year-old Alli.
"It was close to a faultless performance," he said of the Spurs star.
"I don't think he was anything other than top class at any stage of the game. I thought he was quite outstanding. He deserves a lot of praise for that performance.
"We have got a lot of injuries but some players have come in and said 'you might have some big names missing, but you don't have to worry because I am here'.
"You cannot get as much of the ball as we had by missing many passes or tackles."
