Tottenham fans fuming at Sky Sports after leaving out former star from midfielders’ goals graphic
TOTTENHAM fans have been left fuming after Sky Sports left out Dele Alli’s goals from a stats graphic.
During their coverage of Arsenal’s 3-0 loss to Brighton, a list with Martin Odegaard at the top flashed up on screens.
The graphic claims the Norwegian has scored the most Premier League goals in one season by a midfielder, not including penalties.
Odegaard has netted 15 times, with none of his strikes coming from the spot this term.
Sky claim it puts him ahead of the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Paul Scholes, Yaya Toure and Frank Lampard.
However, TWO players have been bizarrely missed off the graphic.
Ex-Spurs star Dele Alli netted 18 goals in the 2016/17 season, with just one penalty goal.
And Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier scored 25 times during the 1993/94 campaign, with six strikes coming from 12 yards.
It means both Alli and Le Tissier should be ahead of Odegaard, leaving fans raging.
One Tottenham supporter said: “Just doesn’t fit their agenda.”

Another reacted: “Bias as per usual.”
Others speculated it was because Alli and Le Tissier both played close to strikers that year and could be classed as forwards or second strikers.
While more thought it was to show who Odegaard was ahead of rather than claim he was top of the pile.
