Dele Alli reacted to getting hit on the head by a bottle by gesturing 2-0 to the Arsenal fans but is unlikely to face any further punishment.

As gestures go it was pretty tame and, in true Spurs fashion, something they nicked off Arsenal who did it four years ago.

I have no desire to see Alli get banned for that gesture (banned for existing is another matter), but after Theo Walcott did the same thing, the media uproar resulted in him being ‘reminded of his responsibilities’ by the FA.
