Alli spotlight

Dele Alli: Glorious chances missed to unsportsmanlike behaviour… all in an eventful half for Tottenham star

Dele Alli just cant keep himself out of the spotlight as he has another controversial display during a Champions League tie at Wembley

DELE ALLI cant keep himself out of the spotlight as he cause controversy by playing a pass back to CSKA Moscow's goalkeeper and nearly scored. 

Igor Akinfeev was forced to stretch for the ball when Alli attempted to lob the Russian goalkeeper when he played the ball back to give CSKA back possession.

It sparked outrage from the CSKA players as Alli was led away by the referee and his team mates before any more harm could be done.

The young England international is certainly earning himself a reputation as a player that misbehaves on the pitch and it wont do him any justice when decisions need to be made by the referee, he may now not get the benefit of doubt.

His blatant dive at the weekend against Swansea paved the way for Harry Kane to score the resulting penalty as Tottenham went on to thrash the Swans 5-0.

Alli missed a couple of good opportunities before scoring Tottenham's equaliser with a lovely finish from a cross Christian Eriksen.

The former MK Dons player has been one of the best players on the pitch but may football supporters are not happy with the way the midfielder behaves.

One football fan was clearly annoyed with the way Alli nearly scored when CSKA were expecting the ball back especially when just on Saturday the player dived to win a penalty.

One supporter likened Alli to being that bloke down the pub that puts you off at the pool table so he can win the game himself.

Alli in the last two games is certainly showing traits of being a player that will go to any lengths to win a football match, hopefully the Spurs midfielder will get it out of his system.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will want to have a word with one of his star players to keep him grounded and take him out of the spotlight.

Alli has enough ability to not behave the way he has been at the moment its now down to the manager to control his player before something else happens that sees even more criticism come the 20 year old's way.
