Harry Kane insisted his challenge on Andy Robertson did not warrant a sending off and that referee Paul Tierney made the right call by booking him.
The Spurs striker scored only his second Premier League goal of the season early in the first half of the 2-2 draw against Liverpool, but could have been dismissed shortly afterward for a lunge on Robertson.
Kane appeared to catch the Scotland international flush on his ankle with studs showing and was booked by Tierney. The decision enraged Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, but it was upheld after a VAR check.
