Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier has defended team-mate Dele Alli after he was criticised for diving in Sunday's 1-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.
Midfielder Alli claimed a penalty after going down under a challenge from defender Patrick van Aanholt. He went to ground again near goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey later in the match but neither incident led to a penalty or a booking for Alli.
England international Alli, who was booked for diving against Huddersfield Town and Liverpool this season, came under fire again from television pundits.
'Obviously, because it's Dele, it probably gets more attention than it deserves,' Dier said.
