The Tottenham pair are on England duty following their win over Manchester City at the weekend.
Dele Alli has posted a video on Instagram, showing him perform a sly nutmeg on his Tottenham teammate Eric Dier.
The video sees Alli spot his friend about to walk past, drag the ball back and Cruyff it through the legs of the unsuspecting Dier, who continues to walk on without realising he had been nutmegged.
Alli described the nutmeg as “so clean he didn’t even realise”, with Dier appearing to continue the training session none the wiser of the prank that had just been pulled on him.
The Spurs pair are currently with the England team, with interim manager Gareth Southgate preparing the national team for games against Malta and Slovenia.
The ‘bromance’ between Alli and Dier has been clear for all to see since the former MK Dons youngster moved to White Hart Lane. The 20-year-old was instrumental in Spurs’ victory over Manchester City, with Dier also appearing as a substitute in the win which saw Mauricio Pochettino continue his unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
Spurs are second after seven games, just a point behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side, but the North London club are now the only team that can boast an unbeaten record in the top flight of English football.
With Alli getting back to playing his best football, expect more players to fall victim of his nutmegs, just like his good friend Eric Dier did.
