Near the end of England's 2-1 win against Slovakia in UEFA World Cup qualifying, England's precocious and occasionally hotheaded young midfielder Dele Alli became fed-up with somebody.

England manager Gareth Southgate said after the match Alli was flipping off Kyle Walker and not the referee, so maybe it was a cheeky gesture between friends?
I think we all know the real target of Alli's gesture, and it wasn't the referee or Kyle Walker.
We're going to go with that.
Update: It was Kyle Walker.
Just to clarify, the gesture tonight was a joke between me and my good friend Kyle Walker! Apologies for any offence caused! Great win 2nite
