Dele Alli involved in mass brawl along with ex-Tottenham player following heated Besiktas match

Two former Tottenham players were involved in a huge brawl during the middle of Besiktas' 3-2 victory over Ankaragucu.

The incident started when both sets of players started to argue in the centre of the pitch, before Besiktas midfielder Salih Ucan was attacked by a violent fan who dropkicked the player.

The referee had been trying to calm the match down as the fan approached the group of players in the centre circle. He also made contact with former Everton striker Cenk Tosun, before Josef de Souza - who would go on to be sent off - managed to restrain the fan and force him to the floor.

More fans and players from the sideline would then run onto the pitch as an already fiesty match got hotter, with more former Premier League players involved. Not only did Dele Alli score on his second match to put his new side 2-1 ahead, the Englishman was joined by another ex-Spurs player, Georges-Kevin N'koudu, as the fight broke out.

N'koudou would go on to score the deciding goal in the game, converting his penalty 15 minutes from time whilst Burnley loanee Wout Weghourst was also on the pitch as the fight happened.

Alli's goal, his first in over a year, was typical of his days at Tottenham, with the 26-year-old arriving into the box to score at the back post. He joined on loan from Everton this summer after only leaving Spurs permanently in January to join the Toffees.

N'koudou left the club in 2019 after joining in 2016, having scored one goal in 27 matches for Spurs.
