Deli Alli has been given a 3 match ban by the FA for misconduct after he punched West Brom’s Claudio Yacob.
Alli was involved in the incident on Monday night during Spurs’ 1-1 draw with the Baggies, and accepted the charge with no resistance, however did claim that a standard penalty of 3 matches would be ‘a bit excessive’.
This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Thursday.
