Everyone’s taking the piss out of Harry Kane’s penalty with the same joke

Harry Kane had a nightmare from the penalty spot during Tottenham's Premier League trip to Southampton.

The England striker sent the ball into orbit (with the help of a divot) after Nathan Redmond was penalised for a foul on Dele Alli, for which the Saints winger was sent off. It was definitely the divot, right? https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/814214967549456385 Definitely. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/814226750997729280 It was a shocking spot-kick, just minutes after a fine header from Kane found the top corner of Fraser Forster's net to give Spurs the lead. https://twitter.com/Colwell94/status/814214443177545728 Now, you may remember that Tottenham signed an agreement last year to host American Football matches at their new stadium, once it opens. You may also remember that NFL kickers aim to hit that sweet spot over the bar and between the posts. So, knowing both of those things, and then seeing Kane do something more suited to that other sport, might lead people to make a certain comment. You know, something like this. https://twitter.com/kweenski/status/814214311702884352 Or this. https://twitter.com/ChrisBloore/status/814214370007859200 Perhaps you'll mix things up and go down this route. https://twitter.com/AD_Foster/status/814214379021500416 Alternatively, this might be the sort of thing that comes to mind. https://twitter.com/eitan_cr/status/814214418024333317 No? How about this? https://twitter.com/whewitson25/status/814214571040919553 Yeah, you're right, this is much better. https://twitter.com/Ebo_AA/status/814214745595248640 Even if you don't tweet in English, that shouldn't hold you back. Here's the same joke in Portuguese. https://twitter.com/danieIwski/status/814214351137673216 And Norwegian. https://twitter.com/halsteinr/status/814214513528451072 And if you were wondering what the joke looks like in Finnish, you're in luck. https://twitter.com/HankonenMikko/status/814220430387060736 But sometimes less is more. https://twitter.com/seyifunmi_aj/status/814217297170694145
