Rival fans have hit back at Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane’s comments on diving.

Tottenham striker Kane told the Daily Mail that he has never dived to win a penalty in his entire career.

“I’ve never felt like I needed to apologise for diving, and hopefully I don’t have to,” Kane said.

“I said after the Newcastle game it’s a clear penalty from my point of view. I said after the Arsenal game it’s a 50/50 one, similar to one we got given against us at Wembley the year before.”

The comments come after Kane faced great criticism for his actions in the North London Derby two weekends’ ago.

Kane went down in the final minute of Tottenham’s game against Arsenal, under pressure from Sokratis, but was not given a spot kick.

Many observers were highly critical of Kane after that match.

And they have not accepted the Tottenham man’s suggestion that he doesn’t dive now either.

Tottenham striker Kane scored a hat-trick for England in a 4-0 win over Bulgaria in his last outing, which proved his goalscoring quality once again.

Kane and England are next in action on Tuesday evening, when they take on Kosovo.
