Football fans are staggered at Harry Kane’s reaction to one of the worst challenges ever

Credit where credit's due.

In a game where players really don't want to be picking up any unnecessary injuries, it's beyond us how Harry Kane managed to keep his cool after being on the wrong end of Bruno Alves' ridiculous high-foot challenge. Thankfully for Kane, Alves' foot didn't make a full connection with the Spurs' striker's head during the friendly between England and Portugal at Wembley. In a week where Pepe, another Portuguese defender, generated a headline or two for his reaction to something resembling physical contact from an opponent, Kane's eagerness to get on with the game, and not make a big deal of the attempted 'tackle', was great to see. Within seconds, the Twitter masses were praising the 22-year-old. https://twitter.com/aliciabailes/status/738456482275045376 https://twitter.com/AnthonyWright1/status/738456396467961856 https://twitter.com/adyhinchliffe/status/738454277992112128 https://twitter.com/CamHall95/status/738458300962996225 https://twitter.com/Chelsea_HQ/status/738450928857194496

Not surprisingly, one or two were directing their tweets at Pepe.
