Harry Kane trolled as Tottenham striker’s opener against Brighton deflects off Bruno first
Spurs ace scored his first since he was awarded a goal against Stoke after his appeal was approved by the Premier League
HARRY KANE has been trolled for SCORING against Brighton.
The Tottenham striker smashed in a 49th-minute goal to send Spurs ahead at the Amex.
It was Kane's first since he was awarded a goal against Stoke after his appeal was approved by the Premier League.
Christian Eriksen was originally deemed to have scored but a three-man panel adjudged Kane to have gotten the last touch from the Dane's cross.
The England star celebrated adding to his tally against Brighton after his strike deflected off Bruno and in.
Kane's shot was goal-bound before the deflection meaning this one is DEFINITELY his.
Brighton equalised from the penalty spot just a minute later through Pascal Gross.
And football fans had a field day on social media.
Kane trails Liverpool's Mo Salah in the chase for the Golden Boot with 26 goals to the Egyptian's 30.
After the Reds' 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday, both James Milner and Jordan Henderson took the opportunity to poke fun at Kane.
Salah scored once in that game with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane grabbing the others.
But Milner tweeted: "Another hat-trick for Mo today.... just waiting for the other two to be confirmed by the claims panel 😜"
And Henderson, when asked about the records Salah could break this season, laughed: "Yeah, he told me he’s going to claim all of them!"
Kane, 24, has been repeatedly mocked by fans for claiming the goal against Stoke.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino insists there is no animosity between Kane and Eriksen but admits his striker has been hurt by the reaction to the decision to award him the goal.
He said: "Of course he never thought that this situation was going to go on to such big things when he was so, so, so, so certain that he touched the ball.
"It’s normal that he was a little bit disappointed [with the reaction] because of course Harry Kane and all of our players have Twitter, Instagram.
"Tottenham fans will back Harry Kane but other fans will kill him. People have opinions but that is normal.
"He is disappointed because he never wanted to create this. For you, sometimes, it is a small or simple thing and they become bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and you cannot stop it.
"That was what happened. He is going to learn a lot from this."
