Dele Alli: FA sends video to Fifa over middle-finger gesture

The Football Association has sent a video to Fifa in a bid to prove that Dele Alli's middle-finger gesture was aimed at England team-mate Kyle Walker and not an official or opponent. Television pictures showed the gesture during England's 2-1 World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia last week. World football's governing body opened proceedings against Alli, who said it was a "joke with good friend" Walker. An FA spokesperson said it had responded to Fifa on Wednesday. The spokesperson added: "We understand the case will be reviewed by the disciplinary committee before the end of the month."
