Harry Kane offered his services to NFL teams as a kicker following his shocking penalty miss for Tottenham against Southampton on Wednesday night.

Kane, who had earlier put Spurs ahead with a powerful head after they fell behind to Virgil van Dijk’s goal, thundered his penalty yards over the crossbar from the spot midway through the second half.

Slow-motion replays showed Kane’s standing foot created a huge divot in the turf, moving the ball as he went to strike it.

But a 4-1 victory on the night meant the England striker was in the mood to joke about his effort, and even suggested it would be enough to earn a move to the NFL, of which Kane is a big fan of.

“If there's any NFL teams looking for a kicker in the future, have a look at my game tonight!” he tweeted after the match.

Dele Alli scored twice on the night, with Son Heung-min getting the fourth after Saints winger Nathan Redmond was sent off, which led to Kane’s penalty.

And he told Sky Sports after the game: “The ground gave way under me for the penalty, I had seen before the game that there was a new square of turf and it just gave way.”

Mauricio Pochettino was equally unconcerned by the spot-kick and defended his striker, but admitted he was thankful it didn’t have an effect on the result.
