England moved a step closer to securing their spot at the 2018 World Cup after they came from a goal down to beat Slovakia 2-1 at Wembley on Monday night, but the match may be remembered more for an incident involving Tottenham’s Dele Alli.
The Three Lions recovered from a third-minute Stanislav Lobotka goal to first equalise later in the first half through Alli’s Spurs teammate Eric Dier, before Marcus Rashford scored the winning goal after the break.
15 minutes from time, the 20-year-old nudged the ball past former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel before running into the veteran centre-back, and was caught on camera producing a middle finger gesture after a foul wasn’t given.
It was suggested by some that it was aimed at the referee, but Alli later claimed via his official Twitter account that it was aimed jokingly at Kyle Walker.
Tottenham supporters were quick to have their say on the incident via social media, and they were divided with their opinions.
While some don’t want the attacking midfielder to change, others believe it might be time for him to be more mature on the pitch.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
