Portuguese referee Manuel De Sousa had no choice but to dismiss Dele Alli once he had made the dreadful challenge on Brecht Dejaegere; it was an over the top, studs first and 'x-rated' leg breaking tackle.
However angry he felt after not being awarded a free kick after he was fouled by Samuel Gigot there can be no excuse for such a tackle.
I hope UEFA look closely at a lengthy ban for the Spurs playmaker who must be shown there is no place for such action on a football field.
There was no need for a replay to know it was a red card offence however just such a replay could have helped Tottenham as the goal they conceded came from a corner which should have been a goal kick.
