Ex-Premier League ref says Spurs 'very lucky' that Harry Kane goal stood against Leeds United

Former Premier League official Dermott Gallagher believes Tottenham were very lucky to be awarded Harry Kane's goal against Leeds United. Whites' goalkeeper Illan Meslier was seemingly fouled by Spurs defender Clement Lenglet in the build-up to the goal, ending up in the back of his own net when attempting to punch the ball clear from the corner.

The ball dropped to Harry Kane on the edge of the six-yard box, who prodded the ball into the back of the net to equalise. Despite remonstrations from Leeds players, VAR did not intervene.

Speaking on Ref Watch on Sky Sports, Gallagher said: "I think Lenglet clearly fouls the goalkeeper for me. The clue for me, is the goalkeeper is in the air there he's got to play the ball. I think Lenglet goes into him and they're very lucky to have a goal.
