da jogodeouro: Tottenham Hotspur edged out a dramatic goal-laden encounter at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon to move into fifth place in the Premier League.
da heads bet: Jose Mourinho’s side defeated Aston Villa 3-2 thanks to Heung-min Son’s 94th-minute winner.
The South Korean had handed Spurs the lead before half-time, slotting home his rebounded penalty kick after Toby Alderwiereld had bagged at either end of the pitch.
Despite clinching the three points, plenty of Spurs fans were in a negative mood about the performance of one player in particular – Dele Alli.
Here’s what they have been saying on social media…
“Overrated,” “woeful” and “useless” were just three words used to describe his performance in midfield whilst one supporter believes Alli will be relegated from the starting XI once Jose Mourinho gets a chance to add to his squad.
This was backed up by another who claimed the Englishman is getting more “expendable” by the day.
Alli lasted 83 minutes on the pitch before he was substituted, after his dire 5.5 rating by SofaScore for missing four big chances and managing just 72% passing accuracy.
Supporters were clearly thrilled with the decision to bring him off, even if it appeared to be too late…
The long-running joke that his brother has been playing was again stated by a further member of the Spurs faithful whilst he was also brandished as “useless.”
There were also several comparisons made as one fan claimed he was longing for Vincent Janssen after the number of chances Alli squandered against Villa.
A couple of others believed Eric Dier was somehow better than Alli too.
