Dele Alli was sent off just ten minutes after coming on for Como against AC Milan last night. He brought down his compatriot Ruben Loftus-Cheek and afterwards, they had a laugh about it.
The English midfielder made his first appearance in two years last night, coming on for the final ten minutes of the game. However, instead of getting a goal or an assist, he made life very difficult for Como as he received a red card.
The referee initially showed a yellow but after a VAR check, it was changed to a red. The challenge on Loftus-Cheek was indeed nasty and deserved to be punished, even if Milan right-back Kyle Walker tried to get the referee not to show the red.
On his official Instagram, Alli shared a screenshot of his WhatsApp conversation with Loftus-Cheek after the game and the Milan man reposted it. The former Spurs man admitted the foul was intentional but that he only ‘tried to clip your heel’.
