   Sky Sports harshly trolled Dele Alli's substitute appearance for Everton against Chelsea on their official app. Alli replaced Dwight McNeil on the hour mark in their Premier League opener at Goodison Park on Saturday. McNeil, who was making his competitive debut following his move from Burnley, failed to get going - with Sky Sports' Sky Score Centre website taking cheeky a dig at his showing. In doing so, they also ruthlessly mocked Alli in a savage match update. It reads: "McNeil's rather underwhelming debut comes to an end. Talking of underwhelming, Dele Alli is on."

Speaking ahead of Everton's game against Chelsea, Frank Lampard said he hopes 'support' and 'tough love' can get the midfielder back to his best. "It is possible to work with him on be...
