Jose Mourinho believes referee Martin Atkinson was right to turn down Harry Kane’s late shout for a penalty in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Kane scored from the spot to double Spurs’ lead in the 40th minute – following Christian Eriksen’s opener – before Alexandre Lacazette dragged the Gunners back into the game with a classy solo effort on half-time.
