Clear contact and the keeper gets nothing on the ball after fully committing to challenge Kane.

Kane had already started diving before the keeper touched him.

Photos lie.. there was no contact. Keeper stopped … Kane fell over.

Can't believe you're using a still...you're better than this...

It's still a pen, but his simulation makes it look like a dive from the ref's angle AND gives VAR justification to not overturn the ref's on-field call. A lot like Noni's pen in the CL final, just replace the slight arm pull with Kane's dive.

Yeah I’m shocked they didn’t give this.

Look at Kane’s body position

Saffermaster 🏆 · Jul 1

No contact at all

Silfver · Jul 1

How can you say that's a penalty? Kane is a joke

Dino Mike · Jul 1

Dive.

Mazzerooni … 🏆 · Jul 1

Nope

Kane left his feet in?

I also think there's a case to be made for the more theatrical the dive the less likelihood of the pen being given even if it was a foul

Kane has been getting away with that same dive for many years

Philarsopher · Jul 1

If he doesn’t dive it’s just a foul and a pen. But he does dive and the ref calls it.

Steve Hills · Jul 1

keeper doesn't make the contact, Kane does.

Romford Pele · Jul 1

Can you with a straight face tell me that you truly believe that contact affected Kane in any way there?

Ljungbergs Hairdye · Jul 1

I hate Kane and yes he does a belly flop but it's 100% a pen

Argentina gets those all day.

Kane starts his dive to buy the penalty before the keeper makes any contact.
