PENALTY OR NOT?! Jose Mourinho Speaks On Harry’s Kane Dive Against Arsenal

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.
Arsenal found an equaliser as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang prodded home Matteo Guendouzi’s pinpoint ball in the 71st minute, but their hard work looked to have been in vain as Sokratis Papastathopoulos appeared to shove Kane to the ground inside the box at the death.
However, Atkinson waved away the Tottenham captain’s calls for a spot-kick and the points were shared at the Emirates.
Asked whether Arsenal should have been awarded the penalty, ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho told Sky Sports:
‘I’ve seen penalties for less but I don’t think so. ‘Without the VAR i would say no for sure. With the VAR now, everybody is at risk.
‘In the other countries where the VAR has been in practice for a couple of years, like Portugal and Germany, I’ve seen worse.’
