Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has had his say on whether Harry Kane should have been awarded a penalty in Tottenham's clash with Brentford on Boxing Day. Spurs returned from the World Cup hopeful of putting their bad habits behind them, but instead picked up where they left off.
Vitaly Janelt opened the scoring for the Bees early on as the home side started the faster of the two teams, doubling that lead through Ivan Toney in the second half. As has been so often the case for the Lilywhites this season under Antonio Conte, it was only once they were behind that they turned the screw themselves.
Harry Kane's pinpoint accurate header pulled the side back into the game before Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's strike drew them level again. Spurs were unable to earn all three points late on as they made themselves a hill too high to climb with their early performance in the game.
