Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli taunted Arsenal fans as his side won at The Emirates.

Alli was involved in an altercation with a fan late in the second half when it appeared he was struck by an object thrown from the crowd.

The Spurs midfielder was clearly unsettled by the incident, and responded by sticking his fingers up at the crowd to show the ‘2-0’ scoreline.

It was reminiscent of Theo Walcott’s taunt to Spurs fans with the same score several years ago, when he was being stretchered off the pitch.

Alli completed the game, playing all 90 minutes, and he will feel especially proud of his performance.

He provided an assist for Heung Min Son’s opener, before scoring an exquisite lob in the second half.

It was a big improvement from his North London derby performance in the league, where he managed only six touches in the second half as Spurs lost 4-2.
