Liverpool fans mock Kane’s playacting in Spurs’ defeat at Anfield

Harry Kane didn’t earn himself too many admirers at Anfield on Sunday, as Liverpool picked up a vital 2-1 win over Tottenham.

Not only did the striker claim that the Reds “are getting those little breaks at the moment”, but he overreacted hugely after a second-half clash with Dejan Lovren, grabbing his face and falling to the ground.

The Liverpool centre-back clearly fouled Kane, but the contact was with his chest, not his face.

These Reds supporters have mocked the Spurs man for his antics, also highlighting his preference for making the most of contact.

I hope Harry is ok, that looked like Anthony Joshua punched him there, looked nasty pic.twitter.com/AHbkKUZCwW

Read Liverpool Verdict

Kane is a fantastic striker, but there is a growing feeling that he is a master of the dark arts.

He is very much England’s media darling, meaning he will never be criticised for playacting, but he does it more than some of the foreign players who are endlessly criticised for it.

Not a word was said by Sky Sports commentators Martin Tyler and Gary Neville when Kane went down, but Mohamed Salah received flak for actually staying on his feet when being manhandled.

Where is the consistency?
