'For Kane to go down like this is EMBARRASSING': Danny Murphy slams Tottenham striker's reaction to Abdoulaye Doucoure shoving him in the face - but brands the Everton midfielder an 'IDIOT' and says he deserved to be sent off

Danny Murphy has blasted Harry Kane's theatrical reaction to being shoved in the face by Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure who was sent off in Everton's Monday evening encounter with Tottenham .

The Toffees midfielder was shown a straight red card for shoving Kane in the face as the Spurs captain theatrically hit the Goodison Park turf.

The incident occurred just over 10 minutes into the second-half with the scoreline level as Everton attempted to secure a victory that would see them climb out of the Premier League relegation zone.

Kane was the initial antagonist as he pushed Everton forward Demarai Gray onto the floor, clattered into his legs, and then grabbed the shirt of Doucoure.
