Telling off: Harry Kane stopped his team-mate Erik Lamela from asking for a red card.

Waving the imaginary card at the referee has become the pet hate of every football fan, so Harry Kane has endeared himself to quite a few by stopping his own team-mate Erik Lamela from doing just that.

A scuffle between Christian Benteke and Ryan Mason saw the Belgian striker raise his hand to the Tottenham youngster’s face, and Lamela could be seen asking the referee Neil Swarbrick for a red card.

The Argentinian winger did get his wishes as Benteke was given his marching orders, but not before Kane had given him a ticking off for trying to affect the referee’s decision.



The 21-year-old then made himself into even more of a hero for Spurs fans by scoring a late free-kick to secure a 2-1 win for his side against Aston Villa.
