Tottenham ace Dele Alli has addressed his strop in the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 clash with RB Leipzig.

Alli threw a wobbler upon being substituted during the 1-0 defeat.

Ahead of the second-leg in Germany, he explained: "I was obviously disappointed to come off for many reasons.

"If you ask any manager since I start playing football, I've never liked being subbed or brought off as much as I respect the manager's decision. I understand that.

"Sometimes when you're losing a game you just have the mentality that you just want to win and be a part of it and help the team as much as you can. I didn't play very well either in that game. I didn't help the team as much as I would have liked to. To come off at 1-0 down, sometimes the passion and frustration can get the better of you. I probably should have reacted a bit better but I care a lot."
