Dele Alli’s Challenge

Dele Alli, 22-year-old wünderkid and professional footballer for the English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur, caught some attention for flashing a peculiar hand sign after scoring a goal last week against Newcastle United.

The celebration itself was basically an optical illusion — an upside-down “ok” sign made with your index finger and thumb, with with the middle, ring and pinky fingers resting against your forehead — so the internet was quickly rhapsodized by the young man’s gesture.

The move is intentionally tricky, and the legions of folks who wracked their brains trying to master it naturally documented their efforts on social media, giving viral notice to the #DeleAlliChallenge.
