Dele had been flagged for offside so the tackle wasn’t really a tackle if that makes sense.
Certain amount of frustration on Pickford’s part.
Both of them being in the England squad definitely helped the situation. Think Dele would have blown up on any other keeper..
Hoping the hamstring aggravation isn’t too serious. We need him, as he’s starting to round into great form..

Which should make Pickford's actions worse if anything, the ref had already blown for the offside, hadn't he?
Anyway, hopefully it's a non-life-threatening but chronic hamstring injury, that'll keep him out for the rest of the season, with Spurs fading away into mid-table obscurity. ;-)

Pickford absolutely went through on Ali just before half time. Red card tackle anywhere on the pitch. I am not an Ali fan, but it was obvious he was hurt and instantly furious but he managed to not react. If the foul had been committed by someone who was not in the England team, I am sure there would have been a much spicier reaction.
