Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli booked for diving Again. 

Dele Alli is regarded as one of the finest young players in the country but the Tottenham midfielder is quickly garnering a far less savoury reputation.

The Englishman played the full 90 minutes as Spurs drew 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday but let himself down as he was booked for diving midway through the second half.

Alli did really well to control the ball and make his way into the box but then threw himself to the floor in expectation from a Dejan Lovren challenge that never came.

Referee Jon Moss did not hesitate to brandish a yellow card for the blatant act of cheating and the 21-year-old had no complaints.

It's the second time this season the youngster has been booked for diving, the first coming against Huddersfield back in October.

In total he has been handed three yellow cards for simulation since his debut in 2015, no Premier League player has received more.

Naturally Alli's act of indiscretion was heavily criticised on social media, fans growing increasingly tired with one of the game's biggest blemishes.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will undoubtedly have a stern word with the player having told him to 'learn' after the Huddersfield incident.

'He needs to learn,' the Argentine said following that 4-0 victory at the Kirklees Stadium.  'He must learn. This type of action doesn't help him, doesn't help the team and doesn't help the football.'
