Kane booked for elbow on GabrielHe was "surprised" by yellow"Stonewall penalty" for defender's handballWHAT HAPPENED?

In a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Emirates between Arsenal and Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, there were several flash points outside of the goals. One was Kane's reckless elbow on Gabriel that resulted in a yellow card, and another was the defender's handball in a bizarre incident where he picked up the ball following David Raya's goal kick, but no penalty was awarded. The England captain felt both decisions were "strange".

Kane, who scored Bayern's second from the spot in the first half, might have thought a yellow was harsh but former Premier League referee Keith Hackett felt he was lucky to avoid a red card. As for the penalty incident, his annoyance was nothing compared to that of his manager, Thomas Tuchel.

WHAT KANE SAID

Speaking in the mixed zone after the game, Kane said on his booking: "It was strange, I'm not really sure, it was 50-50, he gave that one as a foul and I'm surprised it was a yellow card but it is what it is. Decisions sometimes go your way."

He added on the Gabriel handball that went unpunished: "It was a stonewall penalty and I don't know why the ref didn't give it. It would have been strange. But the ref blew the whistle, he passed it, he picked it up, it would have been childlike but that's not our problem. The rules are the rules and maybe they should have had one, we should have had one, and it's 2-2 and level for next week."
