'It is DANGEROUS play from Kane, he knows what he is doing': Martin Keown says Spurs star should have been penalised for the challenge with Adam Lallana that won Tottenham a penalty in their win over Brighton

Daily Mail | November 2, 2020

Martin Keown has labelled the way in which Harry Kane won Tottenham's penalty against Brighton as 'dangerous play'.

The England captain was awarded a penalty after he stepped back into the path of Adam Lallana, who jumped over the striker's back while going up for a header on the edge of the box.

Kane scored from the penalty spot before Gareth Bale scored the winner after Tariq Lamptey produced an equaliser for the away side.

However on Match of the Day 2, pundit Keown said that he didn't believe it should have been a penalty at all, pointing the blame at Kane, rather than Lallana.
