Dele Alli caused controversy in the first leg when he kicked Nenad Tomovic in the ribs while on the ground, but he was booked today for simulation and will be suspended for the Round of 16 opener.

“For me it wasn't a yellow card. He was calm against Crystal Palace and today and it was another good performance from him and the team.”
