PFA claim Tottenham's Harry Kane did not take offence to joke made by chairman

The Professional Footballers' Association says no complaint was made by Harry Kane or his family about a joke told by its chairman Ben Purkiss at the union's awards ceremony last Sunday.

It was reported that Kane and his camp were unhappy with Purkiss' remark that the England striker was "so prolific that he is able to score without touching the ball".

This was a reference to the goal he claimed against Stoke earlier this month, with Tottenham launching a successful appeal to have the goal credited to him after Kane claimed to have got the slightest touch to a Christian Eriksen effort.
