Harry Kane backing into defenders

Man just pure elbowed someone
He used to go under people when they were jumping in an attempt to injure them; yet somehow always got the foul in his favour.There's a thread on this?

He's good at it and gets away with it.
It's actually quite the skill.

The thread wasn't for that kind of backing in tbf. He had a habit of quite dangerously backing into defenders that are jumping in the airThere's a thread on this?

There was nothing in that earlier. Fair enough had he actually raised his elbows to head height bit he didn't. Defender was stooping.
How he got away with that for so long was ridiculous
Yup - real cnutish move, amazed he got away with it. Dangerous play.
Ah I see.
Re the situation just now, the look over the shoulder made it seem very deliberate.
I forgot there was a thread, but it used to infuriate my dad who broke his collar bone by someone doing this in his playing days.There's a thread on this?

He always got away with everything in the prem, so good to see a strong ref seeing it for what it is.
He's the best striker in the world. That is all.
It's that youthful glow and irresistible charm of his...
He’s a right dirty player. Not surprised he needed a penalty to get in the scoresheet too since he generally doesn’t do open play goals in big football matches.
One of the dirtiest players around. He’s done that for years. Feels like he’s trying to injure his opponent.
I am always surprised when I watch him back in and under players that he doesn’t get penalized for it. It really is dangerous and should be a yellow card
I'd say backing into players like that is closer to a red, a player being tipped in the air like that has no real control how they will land, if said player falls backwards, its a possible broken neck.
Especially when you see how soft red cards are given these days.
Yeah he's a total bellend for doing this, it's so dangerous. The only serious injury I ever got from playing (massively amateur) football was exactly that type of foul, it's super sneaky and dangerous. Deserves more attention and penalising.
I agree but why has he got away with it for so long
They need to start penalizing this heavily. The way he looks back at the defender every single time is such a tell, that he knows exactly what he's doing. It's actually pretty despicable that he is willing to endanger his fellow professionals this often. It's basically like making a knee-high challenge, and he seems to do it every other game.
I remember the Athletic did an article on this and called Kane out.
Most here clearly not even seen the incident.
Probably should still have been a red though.

That's the infuriating part - he knows what he's doing, and it's such a cnut move. He'll never be called out by the English media because... Harry Kane, Captain Lionheart (that will go missing at any big opportunity but whatever), but even oppo coaches or whatever have never really said anything about it I believe.
Ah that's cool, I'd not seen this one!
