Harry Kane insists he should have had penalty in North London derby

Kane insists he should have had penalty

Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane has insisted that he should have had a penalty during Sunday afternoon's North London derby against Arsenal.

The England international went to ground in the closing moments of the Premier League affair under a challenge from Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

Referee Martin Atkinson was happy for the play to continue, but Kane has claimed that the Gunners centre-back 'came through the back of him'.

"The defender made a tired tackle," The Telegraph quotes Kane as saying. "On halfway [line] I think I would get that foul. The ref probably thinks I am looking for it. It is 50-50, I could get it in some games. In the box you don't always get them. He's come through the back of me."

The 26-year-old did score from the penalty spot at the Emirates Stadium, though, with Granit Xhaka's rash challenge on Son Heung-min allowing the striker to register in the 40th minute.

The home side ultimately came from two goals behind to level the scores - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting what proved to be the leveller in the 71st minute.
