Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli was sent off against KAA Gent in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has told The Mirror that Dele Alli is disappointed with his conduct against KAA Gent on Thursday evening.
Alli has come under criticism for his dismissal against Belgian outfit Gent in the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 tie.
The England international midfielder was sent off in the 39th minute of the encounter at the Wembley Stadium in London for a dangerous high tackle on Brecht Dejaegere.
Tottenham striker Kane has disclosed that his 20-year-old teammate is disappointed with his performance against Gent.
The 23-year-old England international has also praised Alli, claiming that he has been great for the North London outfit so far this season.
“He is obviously gutted and feels like he has let us down a bit,” Kane told The Mirror. “Dele will learn from this. Obviously in European football when tackles like that you are more likely to get a red card.
“But Dele has been great for us this season. We fought hard for him to turn it around for him. It is something he will learn from and get experience from for the future.”
Alli has scored 11 goals and created 31 chances in 24 Premier League appearances for Tottenham so far this season.
During the 2015-16 campaign, the England international midfielder scored 10 goals and created 55 chances in 33 league matches for Spurs.
Tottenham are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 50 points from 25 matches.
