Sean Dyche reckons he knew the football world had gone mad when Harry Kane was given a concussion test for a “broken eyelash”.
The Everton boss joked that he was concerned for the Spurs captain when physios carried out the head injury protocol - following a brush in the face by the finger of Abdoulaye Doucoure - explaining: “I was worried, I thought ‘wow, this could be a close one’!”
But his humour conveyed a wider message over the state of the sport, with Dyche suggesting that many fans are being put off the game, because of the constant ‘gamesmanship’ and ‘cheating’.
