Gareth Southgate will reiterate to Dele Alli the importance of discipline after his latest controversy.

The day after being given a one-match international ban for a middle-finger gesture during the win over Slovakia last month, Alli hit the headlines for a blatant dive against Huddersfield on Saturday.

His antics drew criticism from Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino, who said: 'It doesn't help him, doesn't help the team and doesn't help football.'
