Tottenham Hotspur won against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.

Tottenham's Dele Alli looks dejected after being sent off

Dele Alli is one of the best young players in the Premier League, but questions have been asked of the temperament of the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder.

The England international was given a three-match ban last season for punching West Bromwich Albion’s Claudio Yacob during a Premier League game.

The 20-year-old’s temperament this season has improved, although he was sent off for a tackle on Gent midfielder Brecht Dejaegere in the Europa League earlier this season.

On Saturday afternoon, Alli was actually playing the role of a peacemaker during the Premier League game between Burnley and Tottenham at Turf Moor.

As the following photo shows, the Tottenham midfielder was trying to separate Burnley’s Ben Mee and the referee.

Alli has been one of the best players for Tottenham so far this season and is playing well at the moment.

The young midfielder has scored 14 goals and provided four assists in 28 Premier League matches for Spurs so far this campaign.
