Kane escapes ban for ‘butt’

HARRY KANE has escaped a retrospective ban for his apparent headbutt on Cesar azpilicueta, meaning he will be available for tomorrow’s north London derby against arsenal. The england captain appeared to aim his head in the direction of the Chelsea defender in the first half of Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat at stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. referee andre Marriner did not act on the incident but insisted he did see it and therefore Kane (right) can face no further punishment. spurs boss Mauricio pochettino is waiting to hear from the Fa over his punishment for an improper conduct charge after clashing with referee Mike Dean at the end of the 2-1 loss at Burnley on saturday. he accepted the charge and is awaiting his punishment. UeFa last night dropped their case against Chelsea over alleged antisemitic racist chanting by fans during their europa League draw with MOL Vidi in December. after the 2-2 draw in hungary, Chelsea condemned anyone involved in singing offensive songs, questioning their ‘brainpower’ and said it ‘shamed the club’. There was no explanation from UeFa as to why they had ended disciplinary proceedings last night. Meanwhile, Manchester United have been fined £13,700 by UeFa for ‘stairways blocked’ and the ‘throwing of objects’ during their Champions League loss to paris saintGermain. a beer bottle was thrown from the crowd towards psG’s former United player angel Di Maria during the last-16 first leg 2-0 defeat.
