After the match, interim manager Ryan Mason was asked about Kane's 'goodbye' to which he said: "It's normal. If anyone's been at the last game of the season while Harry Kane has been at this football club, he's been pretty consistent in walking around the pitch and getting a good reception."
And when asked whether the speculation regarding the captain's future impacted the performance, Mason added: "No I don't think so. If we started the game terribly and were 2-0 down within 10 minutes, but we didn't. I don't believe that. We're professionals."
"We've just lost a game of football. It's an emotional game. They're emotional. There's nothing wrong with that. It shows they care."
