Cristian Stellini has hit back at pundits Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy for branding fall-guy Harry Kane “embarrassing” and scowled: “They don't respect Tottenham enough.”
Kane won few admirers in the blue half of Merseyside when he went down clutching his face after Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure pushed him away head-high with his hand in Monday night's 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. But Spurs interim head coach Stellini jumped to the England captain's defence, insisting: “I have never seen Harry exaggerate anything.”
Although there was unanimous agreement on the night Doucoure deserved his red card for raising a hand in Kane's face, much of the post-match furore focused on whether Tottenham's record scorer was injured badly enough to end up sprawled on the deck.
