LONDON -- Dele Alli has said he will never change, and says he has the full backing of his Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino to keep the win-at-all-costs side of his game.
Alli, 20, received a straight red card for a dangerous high tackle in Tottenham's Europa League draw with Gent at Wembley, which eliminated them from Europe.
That was the first sending off of his career but followed a number of near misses last season, including a punch on West Brom's Claudio Yacob that resulted in a three-match retrospective ban.
He has responded in the best way possible, scoring in each of Spurs' four matches since and, after winning and converting a penalty in Sunday's 2-1 win over Southampton, he said he will never calm down completely.
