Dele Alli was far from happy about being substituted in Tottenham’s 0-0 draw with Watford at Vicarage Road.
The 23-year-old was hooked with 20 minutes remaining in favour of Christian Eriksen, and showed his frustration by punching the dugout…

It is not the first time that the midfielder has shown petulance after being subbed this season. And, you know what, I don’t blame him at all.
He was our best player today, rested in midweek, and was replaced by a bloke who has been halfway out of the door since the last summer.
Erik Lamela was poor and Giovani Lo Celso was flagging after a big shift against Boro and yet Dele was the first man off? The dugout got off lightly.
I only saw brief highlights, but dele flicked the ball from behind with what looked like his heel and then set up a lovely pass which should have been an assist. His moments of magic can win games.
Dele has been much better under Jose but still not playing to his true potential. Gedson looks a good attacking midfield player and will provide much need competition for anyone becoming lazy. Son has also been under performing lately.
Dele needs a rest playing every game, Lamela and Lo Celso need game time to reach full fitness, so what’s the big deal?
The Kane Mutiny?
V-A-R-hahahaha
A good reaction I think. Players should not be happy to be subbed off unless (fatally) injured.
The mutiny begins.
