Dele Alli and Eric Dier are becoming as entertaining off the field as they are on it.

The pair, who have forged one of the strongest bromances in the Premier League, continue to play a constant game of one-upmanship by using social media to poke fun at one another.

And that didn't change on Sunday as Alli couldn't resist a chance to embarrass his team-mate with an Instagram post on his 23rd birthday.

Dier posted this photo of himself as he celebrated his 23rd birthday on Sunday

'The face you pull when it's your birthday,' he wrote alongside an image of Dier wearing a pink skirt and pink washing up gloves. 

The snap is the latest in a long line of banter between the pair with Alli having famously put Dier in the thick of it by suggesting that the 23-year-old should face Anthony Joshua in a boxing fight last year.

Dier chose no to fire back in the immediate wake of the post, instead posting a poignant picture of himself blowing out the candles on his cake. 

'Thank you for all the birthday messages, its been a good weekend!' he captioned.

The duo got the chance to celebrate early as they helped their team thrash West Brom 4-0 on Saturday lunchtime.

Dier has also amused himself by posting old pictures of Alli in the past
