Dele Alli plays 78 minutes on his Besiktas debut following his loan move from Everton... with former Tottenham midfielder starting just his THIRD game this year in Turkish Super Lig win against Sivasspor

Dele Alli was named in a starting XI for just the third time this year as he made his debut for Besiktas in their 3-1 win against Sivasspor.

The 26-year-old midfielder replaced Berkay Vardar in his new side's starting XI and played 78 minutes at the Vodafone Arena for the Turkish giants as they surpassed Gaziantep FK on goal difference to go top of the table.

The former Tottenham star - who joined Besiktas on loan from Everton last week - was then substituted with 12 minutes remaining and his side 3-0 up for Kerem Atakan Kesgin on Monday evening.
