Harry Kane trolled by James Milner after Mohamed Salah scores for Liverpool against Bournemouth
Tottenham striker has been mocked ever since he was awarded goal in Spurs' 2-1 win against Stoke
JAMES MILNER aimed a cheeky dig at Harry Kane after Mo Salah bagged his 30th Premier League goal of the season.
The Tottenham striker has become a figure of ridicule ever since a three-man Prem panel awarded him the second goal in Spurs' 2-1 win against Stoke this month despite replays appearing to show he made no contact.
Salah, 25, netted in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Bournemouth to extend his lead as the league's top scorer ahead of Kane (25).
Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino scored either side of the Egyptian.
Team-mate Milner tweeted: "Another hat-trick for Mo today.... just waiting for the other two to be confirmed by the claims panel 😜"
Reds captain Jordan Henderson got in on the joke during his post-match interview yesterday.
When asked about the records Salah could break this season, he said: "Yeah, he told me he’s going to claim all of them!
"He’s been brilliant, he’s been fantastic, but he’s got to keep going, his work rate, his movement off the ball, how strong he is.
"He’s a big player, so hopefully he can keep scoring for us.
"I think you can never keep Harry away, he’s always going to score goals, he can come up with hat-tricks, he’s got great finishing. Aguero is similar, so he’s [Salah] got to keep going."
Salah himself could not believe Kane was awarded the goal and at the time tweeted: "Wooooooow really?"
