Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, has disclosed why midfielder, Dele Alli was angry after being substituted during their UEFA Champions League round of 16 first-leg 1-0 defeat against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night in London.<\/p>\n

Tottenham was defeated in front of their home fans after Timo Werner scored the only goal of the encounter from the spot-kick in the second half to give the Bundesliga leaders an advantage ahead of the return leg in March.<\/p>\n

Dele Alli was captured by camera throwing a water bottle to the ground before looking visibly upset on the bench when Erik Lamela replaced him in the 64th minute of the encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

But Mourinho said Alli was angry when he was substituted because of his performance and not with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Delle Alli was angry with his performance after he was substituted and not with me,\u201d Mourinho told BT Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe Alli understood why I substituted him and brought in Lamela.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team performance improved after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cLamela can\u2019t play full 90 minutes, so just like how Delle Alli came on against Southampton in the last 20 minutes to change the game, the same tactics I applied tonight.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
