Kyle Walker: 'My heart kicked in' when trying to stop ref from sending off Dele Alli

Kyle Walker explains how he tried to stop the referee sending Como's Dele Ali off v AC Milan.

Kyle says his "heart kicked in" when pleading with the referee not to send off opponent Dele Alli during his former Tottenham Hotspur and England team-mate's debut for Como last month.

Dele, who was introduced as a substitute in the 81st minute of Milan's 2-1 win, was making his first appearance in more than two years, having not played since February 2023 during a spell on loan at Besiktas from Everton.

"I think my heart kicked in. Anyone else, I would have just let them get sent off," said Walker.
