England vs Malta: Dele Alli nutmegs Eric Dier so brutally in training he didn’t even notice

A LOT has been made of the blossoming bromance between Dele Alli and Eric Dier.

The two youngsters are of course team-mates at both Tottenham and England, demonstrating for both sides their compatibility on and off the field.

Their link up play was a driving force in Spurs’ title hopes last season – and looks to be the same this time around.

And in a youthful-looking Three Lions squad, Alli and Dier are tipped to be the future of the Three Lions for the next decade.

They may be carrying the hopes of an expectant nation on their shoulders, but at the end of the day, they are still fun-loving kids, enjoying the beautiful game.

Nothing symbolises that more than what Alli did to Dier during England’s latest training session.

It was brutal. Humiliating. Some would say downright disrespectful.

As his pal was strolling past Alli during the session, the ex-MK Dons ace cheekily rolled the ball back and flicks it between the legs of the still-walking Dier.

Incredibly it was so smooth, so silky that Dier had absolutely no idea it had happened.

Alli was naturally delighted with the feat, with not only Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looking on and chuckling, but also England boss Gareth Southgate.

I wonder what he made of the showboating..?

The England Twitter account were clearly thrilled however, creating a video aptly set to the tune of the Pink Panther, as you can watch above…
