Alli, a January signing from MK Dons, netted the opening goal in the 81st minute at the King Power Stadium, as he headed home Nacer Chadli's deep cross.
However, Riyad Mahrez immediately cancelled out the 19-year-old's strike and Spurs were left to settle for a point, though Alli was thrilled to open his account for Mauricio Pochettino's men.
"First of all, I'm delighted to get some game time," Alli told Tottenham's official website. "Everyone wants to play as much as they can and I'm thankful to the gaffer for bringing me on.
"I found myself in the box and it was a natural reaction to put it in the net. I went straight over to the Spurs fans and thank them for their support.
"It was a dream come true, I wanted to score that first goal and I was so happy to do it but when they scored straight after, it completely killed it.
"I'd definitely say we were the stronger team but you can't take anything away from Leicester, they've started the season so well and it's a tough place to come and win, but we should have taken the three points."
