Tottenham forward Harry Kane has said the referee in the North London derby against Arsenal may have thought he was searching for a penalty after an incident late in Sunday’s 2-2 draw .
Kane went down in the penalty box in injury time under a tackle from Sokratis Papastathopoulos, but his claims for a spot-kick were waved away by referee Martin Atkinson, a decision upheld by the subsequent VAR review.
Kane had scored Spurs’ second goal from 12 yards, putting them 2-0 up, after a rash challenge on Son Heung-min by Granit Xhaka.
