a header he normally puts away, plus a goal-line clearance...it could have been just the four behind

Exactly. Kane just did what a huge amount of players do. Almost the entirety of the game accepts, nay encourages, players to tumble at the slightest touch, and exaggerate their “injury”. And for the most part, Kane gets seven bales of sh1t kicked out of him and doesn’t make a meal of it.

Never saw that angle before - tells a different story, doesn't it. That looks painful and totally warrants Kane's reaction, IMO.

In rugby that’s gouging and a big ban
In football it’s call hitting a players hand with your face and cheating it seems
There was another eye gouge early in the game. Can't remember the two players involved but the Everton player from behind pulled the Spurs players by the face with what looked like an eye gouge.

It was on Kulu
Think it was the Belgian CM they gave
It’s tactical for Dyche to be super physical

Indeed, he was the same at Burnley who were a very physical team under him.

Do not disagree, but i could not watch it every week seeing my team play like his Burnley team did and i do not expect he will change that way with Everton.

Gary Neville highlighted this angle on Sky and said that it was understandable why Kane went down. (Carragher was having none of it, of course.)

Got to agree with Carragher on it. In itself, it didn't warrant Kane going down and staying down. He's done it to gain an advantage through the red card.
My instant reaction is to like it because it got us an advantage but, in reality, I know what he did was wrong.

Hi Burnley team were no less easy on the eye than our teams under Mourinho and Conte.

I agree there was not a lot of difference.

The ref was not booking players that clearly deserved it, if kane doesn't go down maybe the red doesn't come out.
That would have been two eye gouges and no punishment, don't totally agree with kane's actions, but i totally understand why he did it.
It was a red card whether he went down or not. It didn't gain us an advantage it just helped ensure the correct decision was made.
DeanoAustin
Jimmy McCormick
Agreed on both. But the point is that he exaggerated injury to ensure we got an advantage. That feels wrong albeit I understand why he did it and, let's be fair, 95% of players in the league would have done likewise.

It really does feel wrong, in the context of the moment it possibly is wrong, but in the wider context of a ref not protecting players it was probably correct.
