Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes Dele Alli was lucky not to cause KAA Gent's Brecht Dejaegere serious damage after the England man's horror-tackle in Spurs' 2-2 Europa League draw on Thursday.
Alli's was shown a straight red card in the 39th minute, as he lunged high into Dejaegere, leaving Spurs with 10 men in the second leg of a tie they eventually lost to the Belgians 3-2 on aggregate.
It was not the first time Alli has fallen foul of the law. He was lucky to escape punishment for kicking out at Fiorentina defender Nenad Tomovic in the Europa League last year and was banned for three matches in April after punching West Brom's Claudio Yacob in the Premier League.
