Dele Alli accepts violent conduct charge

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has seemingly played his last match of the season after he accepted a Football Association charge of violent conduct.

English football's governing body announced yesterday that the 20-year-old had been cited for allegedly punching West Bromwich Albion's Claudio Yacob during the encounter at White Hart Lane on Monday night.

The PFA Young Player of the Year was given 24 hours to respond and rather than contest the charge, he has decided to plead guilty to the offence.

The punishment for such an act is ordinarily three games, which if enforced, will rule Alli out of Tottenham's three remaining fixtures of 2015-16 against Chelsea, Southampton and Newcastle United.

The youngster has scored 10 goals and assisted a further nine from his 28 Premier League starts this term.
