Tottenham fans back Dele Alli in his battle with Jose Mourinho as they vote him MAN OF THE MATCH and suggest boss has 'an agenda' against troubled star despite his touchline tantrum

Tottenham fans have defended Dele Alli in his feud with Jose Mourinho after voting him Man of the Match, despite him being substituted early in the second half at Stoke City.

Alli made a rare start for Spurs in their 3-1 victory at the Championship side in the Carabao Cup quarter-final and had impressed shortly before being taken off.

However, with Spurs 1-0 up following a first half Gareth Bale header, the hosts equalised in the 53rd minute after a needless attempt at a flick from Alli resulted in a counter attack that saw Jordan Thompson convert a back post cross.
