Harry Kane slams 'weaker mentality' of English fans who troll players on social media

Harry Kane has questioned the mentality of English fans after being subjected to ridicule on social media over the last few weeks.

Kane, arguably the country's best player, has been the butt of jokes following his decision to appeal the awarding of a Tottenham goal at Stoke to Christian Eriksen.

He was then ridiculed by the FA Cup's official Twitter feed in the wake of Spurs' semi-final defeat to Manchester United last week, with the post suggesting he was in Chris Smalling's pocket.

Kane is not the only top England star to be derided, with his Spurs team-mate Dele Alli and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling also regularly criticised, something the England man struggles to understand.
