Tottenham striker Harry Kane WAS fouled in the box by West Ham's Alex Song, according to Standard Sport readers.

Following the dramatic finale to Sunday's London derby between Tottenham and West Ham, we canvassed your opinion to settle the debate once and for all over one of the weekend's biggest talking points.

With Spurs trailing 2-1 in the final moments of the match, Kane barged his way into the area, with Song putting his hands up and seeming to push the striker.

However many questioned whether Kane was already going down, desperately diving in search of a penalty that would have given Tottenham a way back into a match they had looked to have lost.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was pretty clear that he thought it was a dive, furiously blasting a “desperate” Tottenham side. Kane defended himself, claiming that he was about to shoot for goal when he “got tumbled over” by Song.
