Dele Alli sees light side as he ‘announces return’ with 10-minute red card - Just 10 minutes after coming on to make his first appearance for any club in two years, Dele saw red.

Alli had not played a single minute of senior football since as far back as February 2023, when he last featured for Besiktas, but his return did not go as he would have hoped at the San Siro. With Como trailing 2-1, Alli raked his studs down Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s standing leg from behind and was initially shown a yellow card for the challenge.

Kyle Walker’s actions towards the end of Milan’s 2-1 victory over Como in Serie A have divided opinions in Italy, as some have praised him for his sportsmanship in trying to save former Tottenham teammate Dele Alli from being sent off, while others suggest he should not have let his personal relationships affect his decision making on the pitch.
