Video: Harry Kane directly defends his actions that led to penalty against Brighton

Harry Kane has defended his actions on the field which led to Tottenham Hotspur behind awarded a penalty against Brighton.

Kane backed into a jumping Adam Lallana’s path on the edge of the Seagulls box.  After consultation with VAR, referee Graham Scott deemed Lallana’s foul to have actually taken place inside the box, allowing Kane to convert from twelve yards to help his side to a 2-1 victory.

The Spurs striker admitted that he tried to put his body in between the ball while it was in the air and Lallana, only for the Brighton midfielder to clatter into him.

While Kane admits that it was a 50-50 decision on whether a foul of that nature typically results in a free-kick, the fact it was turned into a penalty makes it more of a talking point.
