The Tottenham Hotspur legend wasn’t happy with Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren.

Dejan Lovren of Liverpool walks off during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on October 22, 2017 in London, England.

Graham Roberts has reacted angrily to Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren’s mocking of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.

The Croatia international responded to a tweet from Mo Salah on Instagram this week and referred to the Tottenham star as ‘Mr Touch’.

It is a reference to how Kane successfully claimed a goal that was initially attributed to Christian Eriksen in Spurs’ win at Stoke last month, despite video evidence indicating that he never touched it.

Claiming the goal was considered as a way for the England marksman to keep pace with Liverpool’s Salah in the race for the Premier League’s Golden Boot.

Social media remains rife with jokes and references about Kane’s decision – even from fellow professionals and pundits – but Roberts hasn’t seen the funny side.

Lovren did endure a horrific performance in Liverpool’s 4-1 defeat by Spurs at Wembley earlier in the season, culminating in Jurgen Klopp taking him off after just half-an-hour.

Kane scored in the Lilywhites’ 2-0 win over Watford on Monday, but he remains four goals adrift of the Reds sensation on 31.
