Barely 180 seconds had passed here when the ball ran free in midfield. Dele Alli's eyes were transfixed on it, with Charlie Taylor in his periphery.
Alli, who wears the look of a man clearly frustrated by his recent performances, did not once divert his gaze towards Burnley's left back. A 50-50 was there to be won.
He clattered into Taylor, leaving him in a heap, and prompted fury from most of Turf Moor. Alli did not intentionally leave one on his man but his reputation goes before him, particularly after last week's shocker on Kevin De Bruyne which Pep Guardiola believes could have seriously injured him.
