With Tottenham winning 3-0 at the John Smith’s Stadium, Alli was booked for simulation by referee Neil Swarbrick.
The England international was bearing down on goal but the ball got away from him and was running off for a goal kick.
Alli dramatically fell into Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, who had come towards him.
Swarbrick had no hesitation in giving a free kick to the hosts and Alli did not complain.
