'Absolutely disgusting' - Alli hammered for 'leg-breaker' challenge in Europa League clash

The England international saw red for a reckless tackle on Brecht Dejaegere during Tottenham's continental meeting with Gent at Wembley Stadium

Dele Alli lost his head during Tottenham’s Europa League clash with Gent on Thursday, with a terrible challenge earning him a red card and widespread criticism.

Spurs were already up against it in their continental encounter at Wembley Stadium, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side looking to overturn a first leg deficit.

An early effort from Christian Eriksen brought them back into the tie, but an own goal from Harry Kane turned the tide against them once more.
