Shocking Statistic Highlights Spurs Midfielder Dele Alli's Woeful Second Half in 4-2 Loss to Arsenal

A stunning statistic has revealed just how little impact Spurs midfielder Dele Alli made in the second half during his side's 4-2 loss to Arsenal on Sunday, showing that the player made just six passes - four of which were from kick-offs.

The England international was among a number of Spurs players who underperformed in the north London derby, as the Gunners came back from 2-1 down at half-time to triumph 4-2. It was a typically hot-tempered match, as Alli clashed with Arsenal substitute Aaron Ramsey following his side's first half equaliser.

In an enthralling match, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave his side an early lead with a penalty, before a quick-fire Spurs double courtesy of Eric Dier and Harry Kane put the visitors in front midway through the first half.
