Harry Kane isn’t letting a broken nose stop him from contributing to Tottenham’s title challenge, taking to the field against Swansea City with a mask protecting the injury.
But unlike the imposing black effort which has seemingly been passed around the Chelsea squad in recent months, the Spurs man has gone with what looks like a more DIY effort.

It might be practical rather than cosmetic, but that hasn’t stopped almost everyone watching the game from passing comment.
We’ve had some harsh comparisons…

Abit disappointed @HKane isn't wearing a Kane mask, would of been funny

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is known for his business sense, and some thought that was the reason for Kane’s modest effort
Typical Levy.
Kane gets an NHS mask.

And even if he hadn’t been wearing a mask before the game, some felt he might have needed one eventually anyway
Good job @HKane wearing a mask, he just head butted the post lol #coys
