Sean Dyche has expressed incredulity over Harry Kane being tested for concussion at Everton and believes the England captain’s theatrics show how football has accepted gamesmanship without question.

The Everton manager accepts Abdoulaye Doucouré deserved to be sent off for raising his hand into the Tottenham striker’s face during Monday’s 1-1 draw at Goodison Park, but said the midfielder “certainly doesn’t need to apologise.” He added: “I thought at one point he might have snapped his eyelash, which would have been tragic. But it seems to be responding OK.”
