Dele Alli under scrutiny for another hand gesture on England duty as he appears to taunt Czech Republic defender Ondrej Celustka… two years after giving Kyle Walker the middle finger during Slovakia win

Dele Alli could find himself in hot water once more after appearing to make an offensive gesture with his hand towards Ondrej Celustka during England's victory over the Czech Republic at Wembley.

Raheem Sterling netted a hat-trick, while Harry Kane converted a penalty and Tomas Kalas completed the rout with an own goal as the hosts began their Euro 2020 campaign in emphatic fashion.

The incident involving Alli came moments after referee Artur Dias awarded England the penalty at the end of the first half.

As Alli and Celustka walked past Dias at Wembley, the Tottenham star appeared to clench his fist and move it sideways in a gesture that could be construed as offensive.

Sources close to Alli insist he was telling the referee to hurry up and not taunting him. 

This is not the first time Alli has courted controversy over hand gestures made on the pitch for England.

Midway through their World Cup qualifying victory over Slovakia in 2017, Alli was caught on camera swearing at former club-mate Kyle Walker. That earned him a one-match ban and a fine.

Alli was also at the centre of a pre-game gaffe spotted in the matchday programme.

To compound the error, Dier was also listed as being 24, despite celebrating his 25th birthday on January 15.
