Some Arsenal fans have taken to social media to label Harry Kane a cheat, expressing their disgust after the striker went to ground easily in the latter stages of Spurs’ draw against Wolves.
Tottenham, who were happy to defend a one-goal lead for the majority of the encounter, were forced to throw bodies forward in the final few moments of the match after Wolves equalised in the 86th minute.
Winks played a ball over the top into Kane who could not bring it under control inside the box and the striker subsequently hit the ground after a nudge from Romain Saiss.
The clip has gone viral on social media, with some Arsenal fans accusing the Tottenham striker of being a diver.
Some suggested that the 27-year-old does not get called out for his antics since he is England’s captain and questioned why he was not booked for going to ground too easily.

Harry Kane is quite possibly the biggest cheat in the league (even more than Salah) but it never gets spoken about 🐸 https://t.co/gzggd37y3e

Again… Why don’t the pundits say anything about this, he is a World Class player but a proper cheat. His diving and disgusting ways to try to win fouls in the air needs to be picked up on by the media. https://t.co/0U9OuNfSUr

Spurs Web Opinion
While that is in no way a penalty, that is also by no means the worst dive we have seen, even in that match. Kane went to ground when he felt contact just as most strikers would have in that instant.
It’s unbelievable how almost every little incident Kane is involved in gets clipped up and goes viral on social media but these fans think that the Spurs striker somehow “gets away with it”.
In reality, the Spurs striker gets more flak than almost anybody else even though he is by no means the worst offender. There certainly is not much difference between what Kane did here and how Kieran Tierney went down against Chelsea.
Have something to tell us about this article?
A bit rich arse fans calling other players cheats after what their player did a few seasons ago claiming he was hit in the face with the ball when the cameras proved it was not the case.
As usual, Arsenhole fans like the pot calling the kettle black.
