The Tottenham midfielder was caught on camera making the unsavoury sign during the Three Lions’ 2-1 win at Wembley.

So, how did the Manchester City full-back corroborate Alli’s version of events? With a comical GIF on Twitter showcasing British sitcom character Mr Bean also “flipping the bird”, of course.
