Alli posted a video on Snapchat while singling out an Asian man at an airport. The FA wrote to him asking for his observations and have decided to charge him with misconduct (h/t The Guardian).
According to the FA statement, the midfielder’s post breaches FA Rule E3(1) as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute (h/t The Guardian).
The midfielder also ran foul of FA Rule E3(2), “as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin and/or nationality (h/t The Guardian).
Once the outrage started pouring in Alii deleted the video and apologized on the Chinese networking platform ‘Weibo’ for his insensitivity. He has been given time till 5 March 2020 to provide a response to these charges (h/t The Guardian).
A number of Tottenham fans took to Twitter to express their feelings on the matter. We take a look at some of the tweets.

Good to see the FA are being consistent by charging Dele Alli. Didn't even charge Wayne Hennessey for a Nazi salute.
