DELE ALLI'S season is over after he was slapped with a three-game ban for violent conduct.
BANNED: Dele Alli will miss Tottenham's three remaining Premier League games
The Tottenham midfielder will miss his club's remaining Premier League games after being found guilty of violent conduct by the FA.
Alli struck West Brom's Claudio Yacob in the stomach in the 26th minute of the 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane on Monday night.
The result all but ended Spurs' title hopes and has now ended Alli's domestic campaign.
The FA said: "Dele Alli will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after he committed an act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
"The player accepted The FA's charge but contested that the automatic penalty of a three-match suspension would be ‘clearly excessive’.
"This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today."
On Twitter, Alli said: "Gutted that my season is over. Shouldn’t have reacted like I did. Will learn from this and come back stronger."
While his domestic campaign has come to a premature end, Alli is expected to head to France with England for this summer's European Championships.
