IT WAS A frustrating evening for Tottenham as their title challenge unraveled and there could be further punishment for Dele Alli after he appeared to strike Claudio Yacob.
The recently crowned PFA Young Player of the Year could now face a ban after he lashed out at the West Brom defender during Spurs’ 1-1 draw with the Baggies at White Hart Lane.
The incident came on the hour mark as Alli let the emotions get the better of him by appearing to punch Yacob in the stomach after the pair clashed off-the-ball.
Alli and Yacob exchanged words afterwards but referee Mike Jones didn’t see the incident and both escaped punishment.
But Alli may be retrospectively banned by the Football Association and could miss the final three games of the season.

‘Tis over now anyway. Hon the Leicester. Amazing story.
The Future Is Blue …. Leicester City Blue …. 2015/16
Ahh fck…. Was peaceful while it lasted…. Mommy does not hide phone well…
West Brom are more annoying than Jason Byrne
Young kid with potentially a great career…. FA can put some humility in him if they do the right thing….
This. He gets away with a lot on account of him being English. He seems to ‘accidentally’ hit and especially kick people fairly regularly. To be honest it shows he’s got a bit of an edge to him which isn’t the worst thing in the world but he needs to be kept in check.
As Keane would say, that’s spurs
What? Spurs are a team that have also defied the odds this season finishing above the moneybags that are City Utd & Arsenal no one even thought we would get top 4 the fact Leicester are 1st and not the usual suspects are overshadowing the fact spurs have had a great season a young team that will only improve next season, Spurs are in a far better position that Keanes beloved Utd at the end of the day and if that’s typical spurs I would take that every year
Arsenal are money bags? Look over your own shoulder before commenting on other teams, do I not recall Spurs spending close to 100 million on the likes of Erikson, soldado, chadli, lamela, lloris etc
Levy will sack poch and sell Kane to Madrid and they’ll have to start all over…
@ Mark McNamara as opposed to spending 45m on one player Ozil and 35m on Sanchez thats just 2 players. Our current squad contains a good amount of Youth players Kane, Mason,Allii, Walker, Rose Dier that cost us very little Alli being the most expensive at just under 6m. Can Arsenal say the same?
@Fionna You wish. Wenger is much more likely to be sacked and Ozil & Sanchez to bugger off to Spain.
Don’t give a shite what ozil and Sanchez does , spurs will implode as they always do.. missing out on the Olympic stadium was huge, west ham will be the ones to watch in London the coming years ….
Jesus he nearly killed him !!!!!
