Harry Kane deserved to be sent off for Tottenham in defeat to Chelsea, says former Premier League referee
Harry Kane was a ‘lucky boy’ not to be shown a red card against Chelsea, according to former Premier League referee Mark Halsey.The Tottenham striker pushedhis head towards Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta, during the first-half of his side’s 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.2

The incident was missed by Andre Marriner but will be looked at by a three-man FA panel today, who will decide if the England captain should face retrospective punishment.If he is to be banned, Kane who has only just returned from an ankle injury, will miss Sunday’s crunch north London derby against Arsenal.Speaking to The Sun, Halsey who retired in 2013, gave his opinion on the matter.“Harry Kane was a lucky boy not to be sent off,” he said.“The Tottenham striker clearly moved his head into Cesar Azpilicuetas face and pictures show that he made contact with the Spaniard.2

“I have seen Andre Marriner referee a lot better. He failed to recognise some unfair challenges.“He tried to let the game flow but as a referee you have got to pick up the fouls.“If not, you run the risk of it affecting your control of the match and players get niggly because they feel they are not getting the free-kicks they should.“To be fair to the players, their discipline was generally good and they helped Andre.”A brilliant effort from Pedro gave under-fire Chelsea the lead in the second-half and it was 2-0 when Kieran Trippier scored a bizarre own-goal after a break down in communication with Hugo Lloris.
