For me, if I'm in that situation, I'm not calling that a penalty [Kane v Lascelles]. For me the ball is slipped in by Harry Winks and I think Lascelles is on his heels a wee bit and Harry knows that Lascelles is capable of getting a block in so he goes 'I'm going to shoot here and I'm going to get it across the goalkeeper. "I think he's trying to buy himself a yard, half a yard, by leaning in a bit, he's going to get Lascelles to check his stride and then he's going to lash it. I think Lascelles is falling and Harry is losing balance at the same time."
