Alli vows to control temper after chat with Pochettino

The England international missed the end of last season due to suspension and says his manager has made him realize he needs to learn some lessons from last year.

Dele Alli has promised to keep his emotions in check following a chat with Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The midfielder was retrospectively banned for the final three matches of last season after punching West Brom's Claudio Yacob in the stomach in an off-the-ball incident.

The 20-year-old has displayed an aggressive streak in the early stages of his career, but has vowed to make an effort to prevent that bubbling over into situations that could land him in trouble.
