Mauricio Pochettino couldn't stop smiling as he sent a heartfelt message to Dele Alli as the Everton midfielder made his debut media appearance on Sky's Monday Night Football show.

Alli swapped the pitch for the studio to provide analysis of Everton's trip to Chelsea as the 28-year-old continues his rehabilitation from injury that has stopped him from making a single appearance this season.

His appearance alongside Jamie Carragher and David Jones was Alli's first media appearance since his powerful interview with Gary Neville on the Overlap last year.

The interview saw Alli open up on past childhood trauma and the pressures that come with being a professional footballer.

Pochettino beamed as he spoke to Alli via a studio connection on Monday as the Everton star came face-to-face with his former Spurs coach.
