SUNDERLAND -- Harry Kane has said Jack Rodwell should "definitely" have been sent off in Tottenham's stalemate at Sunderland and he called for greater protection from referees.
Rodwell was lucky to escape with a booking from referee Lee Mason after a cynical scythe on Mousa Dembele as the Spurs midfielder launched a counterattack in the first half of Tuesday's 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light.
And Kane said afterwards: "You could say the other team were physical. I think there were some decisions on that pitch that were very surprising. I think Mousa getting kicked knee-high.
