Arsenal Fans Furious At What Harry Kane Did To Gabriel During North London Derby

Arsenal fans were angry and calling out l Harry Kane after his cynical challenge on Gabriel in the North London derby went unpunished.

Arsenal ran out 3-1 winners on the day thanks to goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka but it was a challenge from Kane that left some supporters incensed as he managed to avoid any punishment. In a 50-50 tussle for the ball, the Gunners’ Brazilian defender tumbled as Kane knees him in the back, and, once he hit the floor, Kane kicked out at him as he fell over too.

It was a challenge that was not spotted or acted upon though, as referee Anthony Taylor and VAR did not deem the infringement serious enough to bring back play in order to punish Kane.

Partey had given Arsenal the lead before Kane equalized from the spot. The Gunners then took the lead through Jesus, and Spurs wing-back Emerson Royal was sent off before Arsenal doubled their lead through Xhaka.

The Kane challenge on Gabriel happened after all the major events, though it did not stop Arsenal fans from getting frustrated and questioning the referee.

Gooners were bemused by referee Taylor’s decision not to intervene and have not forgotten past North London derbies where Kane has got away with other similarly cynical challenges, in which he has almost always got away with it.

See some reactions from Arsenal fans on Twitter below:

Harry Kane just intentionally kicked Gabriel Magalhaes as he was on the ground.
Despicable player does despicable things. Color me surprised.

Harry Kane kicking Gabriel when he’s on the floor. One of the dirtiest players I’ve ever seen but the British media paint him like some sort of saint. Scum.

You aren’t slick, @HKane. Disgusting attempt to injure an opponent.

Not even confused anymore as to why Kane never gets punished for fouls like these. Doesn’t go to VAR and doesn’t even get booked. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Before you tell me it’s soft. Look where his eyes are focused on… The man. Not the ball! #NLD #NorthLondonDerby #ARSTOT #Kane #Spurs #Arsenal pic.twitter.com/a0UESgiu3T

@EPLworld @premierleague Why were pundits silent about this Harry Kane sending off incident on Gabriel Magalhaes? What then is the job of the VAR?
It wasn’t even reviewed, like it didn’t even happen. Double standards pic.twitter.com/8JjSkyAM40
