Dele Alli responds to FA decision over his one-match ban from Manchester United clash

Tottenham star Dele Alli has explained to the FA why he filmed the video that had led to a one-match ban. Alli was charged for a Snapchat video he posted during the early stages of coronavirus outbreak, in which he appeared to mock at Asian man. The midfielder has been suspended for Spurs' Premier League clash against Manchester United. He has also been fined £50,000 and must undertake an education course for breaking the FA Rule E3. Speaking about the case, the 24-year-old has responded to the FA decision, saying: "In response to the FA decision, I would like to apologise again for any offence caused by my actions on 6th February. It was an extremely poorly judged joke about a virus that has now affected us more than we could ever have imagined. I’m grateful that the FA has confirmed that my actions were not racist because I despise racism of any kind. We all need to be mindful of the words and actions we use and how they can be perceived by others."
