Tottenham Hotspur's Dele Alli receives suspension

Thursday 28 Apr 2016
Tottenham and England's Dele Alli

Dele Alli will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after he committed an act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

The player accepted The FA's charge but contested that the automatic penalty of a three-match suspension would be ‘clearly excessive’. 

This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today [Thursday 28 April 2016].

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was involved in a 26th minute incident with West Bromwich Albion’s Claudio Yacob during their game on Monday [25 April 2016].
