Dele Alli throws a touchline tantrum after being subbed off during Tottenham‘s 1-0 defeat against RB Leipzig in the Champions League last night.
Footage from a phone has emerged and gone viral after being posted on social media, showing the Spurs and England star having a paddy.
Timo Werner scored the only goal of the game for the German side, confidently from penalty spot after Konrad Laimer was fouled by Ben Davies inside the box.
It’s fair to say the Premier League outfit were outclassed for over 70 minutes of Wednesday night’s game, only to finally kick into action during the last 20.
It was when Erik Lamela replaced Dele Alli with just over an hour gone that the Spurs sparked into life, however while it was going better on the pitch, Alli was left fuming on the bench after being subbed off.

As can be seen in the clip, he storms over to his seat, grabs a water bottle and then throws it on the floor before sitting down, ripping off his boots and launching them down with players looking on.
The midfielder is then described to have sat with a face of thunder for the remainder of the match.
Post-match, Jose Mourinho was asked for his opinion on the situation.
Mourinho's reaction to Dele Alli:
"I think he was angry with his performance not with me, I think he knows why I took him off and the team improved."

He said: “I think he was angry with his performance, not with me.
“I think he understands why I took him off and our performance improved.
“In the last part of the game, I tried to play with Lamela on one side and Giovani Lo Celso on the other, with two fast players through the middle.
“The only problem at that time was the two fast players were not fast anymore because of fatigue.”
