Pochettino defends Kane after Warnock hits out at Tottenham striker

Mauricio Pochettino has come to the defence of Harry Kane after Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock hit out at the Tottenham striker's reaction to a challenge that earned Joe Ralls a red card.

Ralls was sent off for a reckless lunge on Lucas Moura - described as "soft to say the least" by Warnock - during the second half of a 1-0 defeat for the Welsh club at Wembley on Saturday.

The Cardiff midfielder was immediately confronted by Kane after making the ill-judged tackle, before referee Mike Dean reached for the red card.

But Warnock feels Kane's reaction influenced the decision and suggested the England captain himself could have been sent off.
