Tottenham star showed his appreciation for the fans.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli was sorely missed as his side slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Southampton.
The breakout star is serving a three-match suspension for throwing a punch in a draw with West Brom, but he remains as popular as ever with supporters.
A video was uploaded online of supporters signing on the concourse at the stadium yesterday ahead of kick-off, chanting his name.

The chanting even caught the attention of Alli, who acknowledged the support, commenting on Twitter.
Alli’s opening Premier League campaign has been a huge success, winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award and helping his team achieve a top four finish.
Yet having to sit on the sidelines for the remaining three games should teach him a hard lesson to keep his head, as he will again be having to watch on as Spurs bid to finish above rivals Arsenal next week by getting at least a draw away to Newcastle.
