Ankle breaker
He's got previous too. Still take him at United in a heartbeat.
Shit tackle. Red all day.
He was going for the ball in all fairness.
What was he planning to do with it? Try and burst it?
I thought Kane's was worse.
Awful awful tackle. He really shouldn't get away with that. Doesn't engage his brain whatsoever. Can see him doing something like that in the World Cup
No retrospective punishment in the EPL?
Jesus, did the ref act on that? Should definitely get a ban.
Always seems to think he's a real 'ard man to me but thats an ankle breaker, shocking.

Same here. Both were reds though.
Worse than Pogba's.
The ref "saw" it and deemed it a yellow card worthy foul so no retrospective punishment.
He is a second striker. His ball retention and ability is not good for a CM or a number 10.
He is a diving bitch too. Typical can-dish-it-out-but-cant-take-it guy. The only reason he gets away with out criticism is due to him being a decent English player.
I think I hate him.
Nasty fecker.
Nasty fecker.
Horrible little cnut.
At least Kane can claim it was accidental, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
Alli has previous for this too.
Both red tbh.
I thought this was changed recently?
Is it? I have no idea, if true I hope he gets a 5 match ban
Or at least put a boot imprint on it.
'orrible tackle, he's a berk & snide with it
De Bruyne's response. Class.
On whether Manchester City are thinking about going the whole season unbeaten: "No, absolutely not.
"We are here to win titles. We had a great start, it's still more than half (of the season to go) so it's still very difficult - we want to win every game and everybody who comes in is doing an incredible job."
On Dele Alli's challenge that saw the Spurs player get a yellow card: "I am a split second before Dele and it happens, it's part of football."

Tackles like that should be a 10 game ban
He's always been a bit of a cnut, fecking disgraceful tackle today. The audacity to try and injure a player whose level he'll probably never reach. Kane as well should have been off.
citeh spend every game diving in every 50/50 they lose and getting preferential treatment by every ref, they have a manager with a long history of doping... not ideal what Alli did, but I'm not really bothered.
Nice to see some passion from a player against the bitters. Alli went up in my estimation in that game - at least you can see he still cares and isn't just rolling over as most of citeh's opponents have done thus far this season.
Just a shame it was De Bruyne City's only class act.
Trying to break somebody's ankle because he is losing the game is not passion.
Again!? Feck me this guy is depraved.
Probably lashing out as slowly but surely everyone is finally realizing he's overrated as feck. Erikson is way better.

Agreed, the guy is a psychopath.
Like de Bruyne himself said, they both went for the ball and Alli was just slower than KDB, if city's players are somehow reacting more quickly to every challenge then unfortunately they will get caught late from time to time - we can't expect their opponents to tackle soft just because the bitters' players are reacting more quickly somehow.
Fair play to KDB for taking it on the chin, and fair play to Alli for getting stuck in against them.
Hopefully we see many more players getting properly stuck into citeh as the season progresses. I'm sure we will.
I think it was worse than Pogba's.
Alli definitely worse. Alli's was head on and Kane wasn't going after a grounded leg. Both straight reds but Alli's challenge was nasty.
He's gotten away with more red cards than Costa.
He and Kane stayed on pitch because they are England stars....both should have been sent off
Getting stuck in
It's pretty fecking obvious what All is doing, and going for the ball is not it.
Alli is a pussy. He's at the same time a diving cheat and a reckless idiot.
Look, I don’t like City, but you can’t praise Alli for showing “passion” with that tackle, it was a cnuts challenge plain and simple
This. I'd have been fighting. fecking little Shite . Granted Roy Keane did it and I'd say you cnut because you pick your battles.
I wouldn't. Looks bang average at the moment.
I thought Ali's was deliberate, Kanes wasnt.
