Dele Alli may have the footballing ability to become one of the most dominant and exciting players in the Premier League by the age of 21 - but he lacks the skill to blow out his birthday candles.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Alli celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, and posted a video to Instagram of him blowing out the candles on what looks like a homemade football cake.
However Alli shows poor blowing technique, spluttering and running out of puff with half still burning, to light-hearted derision from those around him.

The England international looked a little embarrassed by his failure, but was able to have a laugh about it on social media.
