Dele Alli failed to get off the bench in Besiktas's 1-1 draw with Gaziantep on Christmas Day.
The Turkish Super Lig is one of the few top flight leagues to continue as most domestic competitions across Europe grind to a halt. The Istanbul giants travelled to mid-table Gaziantep on Sunday afternoon as the England international, who will have never played on Christmas Day before, was treated to a festive fixture.
Unfortunately for the 26-year-old it wasn't a Christmas to remember as he spent all 90 minutes on the bench. It comes as Dele was ruthlessly hooked after just 30 minutes in Besiktas's last fixture and also booed by the club's home fans.
