The England international reacted furiously after being substituted in the second half with the attacking midfielder quite literally throwing the toys out of the pram as he made way for Erik Lamela just past the hour mark, causing a big stir amongst supporters about Alli’s attitude.
Should Dele Alli be in the England squad?
Yes
No
And plenty of Tottenham fans on social media weren’t pleased with what they saw, with lots of supporters criticising Alli for his reaction to being substituted off as well as calling out the former MK Dons star’s poor performance on the night in which the 23-year-old hardly made an impact.
Here’s what tons of Spurs supporters had to say on Twitter about Alli’s reaction to being subbed off…
Sell him, no better than Jesse Lingard!

Jose Mourinho will be expecting better from Alli in the coming weeks when Tottenham face off against Chelsea on Saturday as well as in the return leg against Leipzig in Germany next month.
