HARRY: PEn WAS RIGHT

uP And AdAM 50-50 call

TOTTENHAM striker Harry Kane insists he did nothing wrong to win the penalty against Brighton last weekend.

He came under scrutiny after referee Graham Scott awarded Spurs a spot-kick, following his clash with Adam Lallana.

Former Arsenal defenderturned-pundit Martin Keown claimed it was Kane, not Lallana, who was guilty of dangerous play and plenty of others agreed. But

Kane said: “We play in a game where you get contacted every other minute probably with the opposition defenders.

“So unless you’re going to completely take physical contact out of the game, you’re going to get decisions where it’s a 50-50 call and that’s all that was.

“Cheating is when you try deliberately to draw a foul or jump over someone or fall to the ground without any contact.

“As a striker, when you’re dealing with long balls all the time in the middle of the pitch from goal-kicks, long balls from defenders, you’re getting your body in the way and trying to hold the ball.

“That was a similar situation, it just happened to be in the box.

“The ball went up in the air, I tried to get my body there, Adam tried to jump up and he has come through the back of me before getting the ball and the ref made a decision. That’s why the refs are there and that’s why VAR is there.”
