Silver Linings Abound for Tottenham in Dele Alli's Premier League Ban

Dele Alli's first Premier League season is over after the Football Association imposed a three-match suspension for his violent conduct against West Bromwich Albion's Claudio Yacob.

Tottenham's pursuit of the league title all but ended with the 1-1 draw against the Baggies, but Alli's tussle with his Argentinian shadow has demanded coverage in aftermath.

Not for the first time this season, Alli was guilty of an unnecessary, violent reaction. For the first time, he was caught.

Alli has rapidly evolved from a youngster with great potential to a vital player capable of creating chaos for opposition defences while himself working hard in defence.
