Alli facing potential ban for Yacob punch

PFA Young Player of the Year Dele Alli could be facing a suspension after an apparent punch on West Brom's Claudio Yacob.

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli could find himself in trouble with the Football Association after he appeared to punch West Brom's Claudio Yacob in the stomach during Monday's Premier League match.

Alli has been a standout performer in Spurs' impressive season, and his displays were formally recognized when he was named the PFA Young Player of the Year on Sunday.

But during Monday's 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane – which put a huge dent in Tottenham's Premier League title ambitions – Alli appeared to punch midfielder Yacob as the pair ran into the West Brom penalty area.
