I just don't think either are automatic.

Yes they're both reckless challenges. Kane's was sloppy and the more dangerous of the two. Robertson, having already been kicked in the face and been on the receiving end of Kane's challenge surely made it a point to put in a big swipe. The problem with his challenge is that the player made an obvious attempt to shield the ball (not actually playing the ball) from Robertson. So he essentially stepped into a hard challenge. The funny thing is that Robertson (fortunately) avoided the contact and probably saved himself from serious injury and Kane from a card. The Tottenham player, Royal, looked for the contact and got it.

Meanwhile dipshit Tierney thought that Jota intentionally tried to draw a penalty so he didn't call a the penalty. I mean, Jota is clearly trying to score. But even still. Since when is a player not entitled to a penalty when he gets fouled trying to draw a penalty. Laughable stuff today.
