Substitute Dele Alli managed to secure a late penalty for Spurs as they visited Spotland Stadium for an FA Cup fifth round clash with League One Rochdale on Sunday.
As the game dragged on with the scores level at 1-1, something like this was anticipated:
Spurs might have to bring Kane, Alli or Lamela on to dive for a penalty at this rate.

Dele Alli dives and wins a penalty. Imagine my shock.

It did look very much like the under-fire midfielder began to go down before any contact was made.
Harry Kane scored the resulting penalty and Tottenham celebrated what looked to be the winner before the home side snagged an added-time equaliser.
These are the best of the latest Dele Alli diving jokes after another one, this time during a 2-2 draw with lower-league Rochdale in the cup:
Dele Alli should take up diving as a profession.

"Sir, we have a problem, it's Dele Alli"
"What about him?"
"Someone on the internet has done one of those RT if you think he should be banned tweets"
*silent pause*
"Well fuck. We better ban him then" https://t.co/etlZjcTRlW— Becky (@becksthfc) February 18, 2018

Is Dele Alli a diver? Look, I don’t know. But, overall, I believe he is on his way to the Winter Olympics.
