Andy Gray points finger at Liverpool's Mohamed Salah after Harry Kane 'dive' storm

Former Everton forward Andy Gray has defended Harry Kane after the "dive" storm claiming that Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah was given several penalties last season for far less clear offences. Tottenham captain, who had already scored from penalty spot in the first half, went down in the box under a challenge from Sokratis Papastathopoulos in the dying moments of the game, but referee Martin Atkinson didn't give a penalty. "Front men do it all the time,"said Gray. "You deliberately put your body between the defender and the ball and say to him, 'if you want to touch me...' "We have spoken about Mo Salah. Mo Salah in the last year must have had three or four penalties that were much, much softer than that. "The idea is, Harry Kane knows what he is doing, 100%. That's why he is a top striker. "He knows Sokratis is coming so you step across the line and say 'do you want to make a tackle?'. Most top defenders won't get involved and think no, he's running out play. "You don't do that, which is ridiculous. I'm sorry. It's a pen, but we're not going to get a clear and obvious error when Martin Atkinson is referee. They overruled him last year with a red card in a League Cup tie at Wolves, and he really wasn't very happy." via LiverpoolECHO
