MATCH ATTAX 19/20 HARRY KANE HAT TRICK HERO TRADING CARD - TOTTENHAM/SPURS #318

Product Information

An accusation often levelled against “the media”, however you might define it, is that Harry Kane is regularly given an easy ride because of his status as England captain. It is not true, really. Kane is often praised, yes. But that is because he often plays well. And because he scores lots of goals, for club and country, which is his job. I'm a lot nicer than I was 15 years ago. If Harry Kane stands up there, we are talking about winning Champions League football or staying in the Premier League with relegation, if he stands up there that might have been a yellow card because it is deemed as being just a little hand-off.

Cristian Stellini, the Spurs acting head coach, also stated what everyone on the pitch knew to be true. “Doucouré’s hand was clearly in the face. I was very close to the situation and it was a clear red card.” Speaking on BBC 5 Live’s match coverage, Murphy joined Carragher in condemning Kane’s actions and accused him of “stitching up” Doucouré.Harry Kane had given Tottenham the lead in the second half from the penalty spot after Keane himself had fouled Cristian Romero in the area. Carragher says Tottenham are a mess with their managerial situation and Fabio Paratici's suspension Neville added: "On a serious note, as a player, if we're going in our dressing rooms we're going, 'Harry, well done, you got him sent off'. We have opted for the 2019/20 season Panini Impeccable Dual Materials Harry Kane Patch card to take number three on our list, as it is one of a few collections with two patches on a single card. The left side features a patch from a Harry Kane home kit, and the right side a yellow patch from the Tottenham away kit. Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy were both critical of Kane’s role in getting Doucouré sent-off, leading the criticism of what appeared to be an overreaction.

Italy were still in the hunt, just, and after what would surely have been some choice half-time words from coach Roberto Mancini they came out fighting in the second half. However, Neville, who worked with Kane during his time as a coach under Roy Hodgson, came to the striker’s defence. I suppose the only debate that we’re having is whether Harry Kane should go down. To me, I’m gonna do a little bit of a demonstration with James Carragher, he said it was a hand in the face and that, Harry Kane should never go down. The result takes Tottenham into the Champions League places with nine games to play, but Stellini's side have now failed to win their last six games away from home. Former Clarets proving criticalThe point lifts Everton three places up to 15th while Tottenham climb to fourth on goal difference, albeit having played two more games than Manchester United in fifth. Was it an exaggerated reaction? Absolutely. Was it embarrassing for a player of Kane’s stature and physical power to be tumbling to the turf? Of course it was. But is there one Premier League player who would have reacted any differently to such an incident? Almost certainly not. And if a player did fail to take advantage of such a swipe, you can be sure their manager would have been furious about it. It is normal when the fans are unhappy, but in my opinion it was a clear red card [for Doucouré]. You have to realise the situation. If the [Everton] fans are unhappy with the decision taken, I say it was a good decision. Harry Kane's gone down, whether he should have or not, it's to make sure that Doucoure does get sent off. It speaks volumes of the situation that Sean Dyche, the Everton manager, and Michael Keane, the Everton defender, both thought it was an obvious dismissal. “That was definitely a red card,” admitted Keane. “It is a red card, because he [Doucouré] raised his hands,” said Dyche. “We know that. That is the way it goes.”

It is a part of the game people don't like but in our dressing room, if my forward [does that] we are there to win leagues, win games." Carragher said: “Doucouré is wrong and I am sure Dyche will tell him that, but I wouldn't go down there as a player. Neville also claimed that, had he been on Kane’s side, he would have expected him to make the most of the incident.It's a part of the game people don't like but in our dressing room, if our forward [does that] we are there to win leagues, win games.

Spurs’ caretaker manager Cristian Stellini denied that Kane fell too easily after being shoved in the face by Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucouré at Goodison Park, reducing the hosts to 10 men in the 58th minute. He’s got to challenge for it but then you can’t raise your hands. We know that. I just don’t think the challenge needed to be made.” Analysis: ‘Spursy’ Tottenham show Everton how to self-implodeGray curled narrowly over in the second minute and Doucoure sent a free header over as they pressed for an opener. The game had been an uninspiring encounter up until the flashpoint on 57 minutes, when Toffees midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure was given a deserved straight red card after pushing Kane in the face off the ball. Neville added: "They were OK - nothing spectacular. They've been a bit dour to watch for quite a long time.
