Former England star Dele Alli endured a nightmare return on his first competitive appearance in over two years as he was sent off less than 10 minutes into his debut for Serie A side Como.

Dele, once a leading light at Tottenham and a World Cup semi-finalist with Gareth Southgate's England in 2018, has been trying to put his career back on track after being picked up by Como boss Cesc Fabregas before Christmas.
