Tottenham forward Dele Alli was on Wednesday night, December 19, hit with a plastic object thrown by aggrieved Arsenal fan who is believed to be livid with the goal the Englishman scored against the Gunners.

Arsenal have crashed out in the 2018/19 Carabao Cup after losing at home against Premier League rivals Tottenham, and it was Dele Alli who scored the winning goal for the visitors.

But the player received a bad reception from yet unknown Arsenal fan who threw a bottle from the stands and hit Alli's head, but the Englishman handled the situation professionally.

Dele Alli held up two fingers on one hand and made an O with his other to gloat over the visitors' lead in the second half of the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash.

"It makes the goal and the win a little bit sweeter." Dele Alli reacted about the incident.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino called for Arsenal to punish the "stupid" fan who threw the bottle.

He said: "Luckily it wasn’t a big problem tonight but it could have been a big issue and I hope Arsenal can take some responsibility and identify who threw the bottle.

“For me, we hate each in a good way but that was in a bad way when you want to damage an opponent.

“But it is was only one stupid person who made a mistake and I think Arsenal will use the cameras to identify the person.” he explained according to UK Sun.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?

Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
