Former Liverpool pair Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher says Tottenham striker Harry Kane should've been sent off in their 2-2 draw at Tottenham.

Kane was only punished with a yellow card for a studs-up lunge on Andy Robertson, described by a livid Jurgen Klopp as a potential 'leg-breaker'.

Redknapp fumed: "That is a red card. When you go in and use that amount of force, right now how the game is, he is out of control.

"If Robertson's foot is on the floor he snaps his leg. It is not intentional, he is not that type of player.

"Being England captain, [his] reputation helps a lot."

Carragher too was baffled as to why Kane was not given his marching orders.

He added: "I don't understand the terminology used. VAR is talking about speed and intensity, Kane is sprinting and lunges in, that is nonsense."

Klopp also claimed: “If Robbo's foot was on the ground it's a broken leg. It's pure coincidence that it was in the air and Harry cannot judge that.

“We have VAR sitting there and he thinks to have a look at the Robertson challenge again, which is fine because that is what he is there for.

“But what did he do in the first situation? I thought he might not have been in his office because we all agree that Kane should have been given a red card but the ref saw it differently."
