Mauricio Pochettino: 'Harry Kane would not lie about goal'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says that no harm was caused by Harry Kane's determination to claim the second goal against Stoke City last weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that Harry Kane's determination to take a goal away from teammate Christian Eriksen "is not a big deal" for Tottenham Hotspur.

Kane was given a boost in his personal battle with Mohamed Salah in the Golden Boot race this week when awarded Tottenham's second goal against Stoke City.

The Premier League's Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel ruled that Eriksen's attempted cross touched the English striker on its way past Jack Butland, taking him up to 25 for the league season - four short of leading scorer Salah.

Despite Kane being mocked by some for his strong appeal to have the goal taken away from one of his teammates, Pochettino says that both players were likely in full agreement.

"We didn't talk about it. Of course after the match Harry Kane said he touched the ball with his right shoulder," he told reporters at his weekly press conference.

"Harry is very honest and he is not going to lie about this situation. It is not a big issue, it is not a big deal for the team. It was a club decision, I was not involved, but I am sure Harry and Christian Eriksen agreed on this."

Kane is expected to start for Tottenham when they welcome Manchester City to Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.
