Tottenham and England star Dele Alli held at knifepoint during robbery at his home and 'thumped in the face' while having jewellery and watches stolen

Dele Alli was held at knifepoint and punched after robbers broke into his house during the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The Tottenham midfielder was thumped in the face during the ordeal but did not suffer any serious injuries.

Two males broke into the back of Alli's north London property just after midnight on Wednesday morning before threatening the Spurs star - who has been isolating with his brother Harry Hickford, their two partners and a long-term friend.

Following a scuffle, during which Alli suffered a minor facial injury, the two culprits proceeded to take various items including jewellery and watches before fleeing.
