'Alli can’t stop cheating!’ – ex-Premier League ref Poll

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll has branded Dele Alli a player who cannot resist the opportunity to cheat.

The England midfielder courted controversy again during Tottenham's 4-0 win over Huddersfield at the weekend, when he was adjudged to have dived when challenged by goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, despite his side leading by three goals at the time.

Poll says that the FA must take sterner action over simulation and says it could count against the 21-year-old at a vital moment.

"Dele Alli has a major flaw in his game - he can't stop cheating," Poll told the Daily Mail.

"One thing is for sure, if Alli is fouled in the last minute of a game that Spurs are trailing 1-0, his previous actions could make a referee doubt the validity of his fall."
