Fierce attention is now paid by rival football fans every time Dele Alli goes down and today was no different, as a possible dive in the box during Crystal Palace 0-1 Tottenham soured the away side’s victory.
The midfielder failed to con referee Kevin Friend but did not get carded and will not face any retrospective action by the Football Association because no penalty was awarded.
Nevertheless, here are the best of the latest Dele Alli diving jokes after another in Spurs’ narrow win over Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday:
A bit of water from the sprinkler just hit Dele Alli as he was leaving the pitch. He’s currently down on the turf – looks quite serious.
