Tottenham Hotspur vs Cardiff: Tottenham put Cardiff at the bottom of the table European Leagues News Premier League

  • Eric Dier scored an early goal to help Tottenham, winning over Cardiff City
  • With today’s loss, Cardiff City is at the bottom of the league table.
  • Joe Ralls of Cardiff saw red card at 58′ of the match.

Neil Warnock hit out in Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane for his part in the Joe Ralls crimson card that reduced Cardiff City to ten guys, but denied shouting at the England captain.

Cardiff manager Warnock received a ticking off from referee Mike Dean for his response to the decision and the participation of Kane, who pushed Ralls and remonstrated against the officials.

However, Warnock made no effort to hid his displeasure in Kane’s role in the red card, adding:”He’s doing that to make a matter of it to produce the referee think that it’s worse than that which it is. England player going off like this, dear me. He went right in and pushed him did not he, so why not give him a red?

“I don’t believe he wants to do that. He plays England, I love him. I believe he is a huge player. But I don’t think you need to attempt to get other pros sent off, simply because he has had a poor game and Spurs were having a poor game, he should not take it out on us.”

Warnock also claimed Dean was likely to reveal Ralls a yellow card until his supporters intervened, stating:”I thought it was a very gentle one to say the least. He explained violent behaviour, I don’t find it being violent behavior. I believe that it was cynical. I believe he went to get his yellow pocket, but all afternoon there has been occupied people around him.

“He said it was a set decision. The experienced linesman down the other side, Darren whatever (Cann), I thought he had a bad afternoon. It would not surprise me if he did not contribute to that.

“Clearly in his ear plugs, I think he has affected and I do not believe Mike Dean needs influencing because he’s a top referee. He ought to have followed his instinctlike he had been going to, and give a yellow card. I don’t believe it had been surrounded by 15 white tops.”

Tottenham manager Maurico Pochettino was only meters from the Ralls filthy and said:”From where I was in that instant, it was away, card. The identical reaction as the referee. I understand if they whine about the situation.”

Asked about Warnock, Pochettino added:”You know better than me, him. He’s so expressive. He reveals a whole lot of passion. I really don’t understand him in his life, but in soccer, yes, after six years here. I think that it’s good.”
