Harry Kane must be wishing he didn’t bother appealing to the Premier League to have THAT goal against Stoke awarded to him.

The Spurs striker desperately swore on his daughter’s life that he got a touch on Christian Eriksen’s free-kick, a plea which the Premier League listened to.

But as soon as he was officially given the goal, the mocking began.

Fans, players and even the FA have since teased Kane and it seems as though the joke simply won’t go away.

While Kane probably expected a bit of banter, he probably didn’t expect the FA to join in ahead of the World Cup.

But that’s exactly what happened following Spurs’ 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final - but this time it wasn't to do with that Stoke goal.

Kane had a quiet 90 minutes and the FA’s official Twitter account suggested he had been ‘pocketed’ by Chris Smalling.

HARRY KANE SPEAKS ABOUT THE FA'S TWEET

They tweeted: “What's in your pocket?" with a clip of the United defender saying “Harry Kane.”

Fans found it funny but Kane clearly didn’t.

And the England international has finally spoken the silence about all the abuse he’s received over the past few weeks.

“The FA tweet was a silly tweet, we all know that,” said Kane.

“I talked to the gaffer about it and all I said was ‘Would other countries do that to their players?’ Probably not.

“It is something that has gone. Two weeks ago now or whatever - I am over it. The gaffer may have said that I am sad, but I am focused. I am a guy that gets over things. If it happened, it happened. I move on and look forward to the next game and that is all I worry about – getting out on the pitch and trying to do my job.”

Of course, the underlying reason behind Kane being so desperate to get the goal against Stoke awarded to him was to aid his chase for the Premier League Golden Boot.

Kane has won the award in the previous two campaigns but needs all the goals he can get to catch Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah this season.

He currently trails the Egyptian by four goals with three matches remaining - although he did score seven goals in his final two matches last season.

At least he’s not afraid to admit he’s fully focused on claiming the Golden Boot for a third consecutive season.

“Every striker in every country wants to win the golden boot. I want to win at everything, whether it’s the golden boot or every game. Even if it is just playing a game with my mates – I want to win that. I am not afraid to say so," Kane added.
