Tottenham Hotspur fans feel that Harry Kane would have been slated if he had done similar to Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka last night.
Saka went down fairly easily in the second half to win Arsenal a penalty, which Nicolas Pepe duly converted to get his side back into the tie.
While the Arsenal player did not commit a blatant dive, it was a piece of play which was very cunning, as he left a leg out and exaggerated contact.
It is move which opposition supporters, including many Arsenal fans, have constantly called Tottenham’s Kane out about.
And Tottenham fans were wondering why more fuss wasn’t made out of Saka’s actions, given the furore created when their star man does similar.
Saka is unlikely to be too perturbed by the comments, and Arsenal supporters will surely back their youngster.
Saka’s play showed awareness to belie his years, as he predicted the potential foul would come.
It was also crucial to Arsenal, who had struggled to gain a foothold in the match up until that point.
The Gunners are now in a position where they can still overturn the deficit at the Emirates Stadium in the second-leg, and their away goal could be crucial.
