Everton loanee Dele Alli left on Besiktas bench for Christmas Day draw

Everton loanee Dele Alli continued his recent struggles in Turkey as he attempts to resurrect his career.

Alli was not even able to get off the bench in Besiktas's 1-1 draw with Gaziantep on Christmas Day.

The Turkish Super Lig had matches on the 25th, unlike most European leagues.

While Besiktas were not able to get a win against Gaziantep, their manager did not bring on Alli to rescue the situation.

His most recent start involved a humiliating substitution during the 30th minute, with his side 2-0 down.

Besiktas then went on to win that game, a Turkish cup tie against a lower league team, 4-2.
