Alli's breakthrough season ends

Dele Alli's near perfect season has come to a premature end with a three game suspension for violent conduct. 

Much has been said about Tottenham and England's rising star, but let's take a look at the 20-year-old's season in cold hard numbers. 

The former MK Don has adapted seamlessly to the demands of the English top flight and was directly involved in a staggering 19 goals in his maiden Premier League campaign, subsequently picking up the PFA Young Player of the Year award last weekend.

His partnership with Harry Kane has benefited both Spurs and the Three Lions, with Alli the creative genius behind Kane's explosive goalscoring. Six games for the full England side included a man-of-the-match performance against Germany and a wondergoal against France - and Spurs' number 20 can now, in playing terms at least, turn his attention to Euro 2016.

The midfield maestro has played on 33 occasions this season in the Premier League and only missed one matchday: Spurs 0-0 draw with Chelsea back in November. With the Blues next up for Mauricio Pochettino's men, Chelsea will therefore be the only team Alli has not lined up against during 15/16.

Tottenham fans may yet rue the youngster's foolish dig at West Brom's Claudio Yacob in the title run in, particularly if Leicester fail to win one of their three remaining matches.

Should Spurs manage to do the unthinkable, it will be largely thanks to Alli's performances throughout the season. Alli boasts an impressive 58% win percentage, with 10 draws and just 4 losses making it a season to remember, and one that has already clinched Champions League football for next season.
