Harry Kane was denied a dramatic last-minute winner against Sporting Lisbon that would have sent Tottenham into the last 16 of the Champions League after a lengthy VAR check ruled out his goal for offside.

Kane fired home from Emerson Royal’s header to spark wild celebrations but VAR adjudged the England captain to be in an offside position to see the match finish 1-1 as Spurs boss Antonio Conte was sent off for his protestations over the decision.

Stephen Kelly, Jay Bothroyd and Trevor Steven discuss Harry Kane’s disallowed goal in injury time against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League

Rodrigo Bentancur had levelled late on for Spurs (79) to cancel out former Tottenham forward Marcus Edward’s first-half opener (22).
