Tottenham Hotspur were humbled 3-1 in the north London derby on Saturday, and Arsenal fans are exasperated after Kane's fouls on Gabriel weren't punished by referee Anthony Taylor.

In the 73rd minute, Kane and Gabriel were contesting a 50-50 ball when the Gunners' defender fell as Kane craftily knees him in the back. Kane kicked him on his side as he was falling over, too, according to SPORTBIBLE.

However, to the naked eye, Arsenal fans believe the challenge was worth a look for the referee, but surprisingly, VAR did not deem the foul dangerous, something which infuriated the Emirates faithful.

Kane's disciplinary record

Kane has previously earned a reputation for petulant and dangerous play. However, his impeccable disciplinary record suggests the England captain has always been a model professional.

Gunners supporters called him "nasty", "disgusting", saying he needs to be properly punished for cynical fouls which are often overlooked, probably due to his role as England captain.

Still, Kane's penalty in the game saw him take his north London derby tally to 14 from 18 games. He also overtook Thierry Henry in London derbies, eclipsing his 43 goals.

Conte accused of 'giving up' the derby

Sports Brief earlier reported on Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte getting accused by some Spurs fans of giving up' on the match against Arsenal.

Conte made a quadruple substitution after Emerson Royal was sent off for a foul on Gabriel Martinelli.

Conte admitted that the substitutions were a move to limit the damage, saying the contest was over after 70 minutes.
