Carragher slams Spurs striker Kane: Embarrassing

Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville were in disagreement regarding the sending off of Abdoulaye Doucoure,

The Everton midfielder was given a straight red for putting an arm to the face of Tottenham star Harry Kane.

The England captain then went down theatrically, which upset the home fans and some pundits.

“There is no debate on red card at all," Neville said.

“Doucoure puts his hand up, the only debate is whether Harry Kane should go down.

Harry Kane should never go to ground. But the only thing I've had before is when someone puts the clasp of their claw and it goes a little bit on your eye - it does shock you."

Carragher then responded: “The debate isn't about a red card and Harry Kane shouldn't be going down like that. It can still be a red card by putting your hand in someone's face.

“Doucoure is wrong and I am sure [Sean] Dyche will tell him that, but I wouldn't go down there as a player. There is no way near enough to let you go down.

“If I done that on a pitch I'd be embarrassed and if I watched my son do that, yeah it might help his team win if the opposition are down to 10 men and it gives them an advantage, but when he got back in the car I would say, "what are you doing? Don't ever do that again on a football pitch.""
