Tottenham Hotspur and England Striker Harry Kane really gaffed on a penalty kick today. How bad? Well, we’re not quite sure if the ball has even landed yet.
Take a look:

All is well that ends well though as Kane did score a goal in the match and Spurs beat Southampton 4-1.
“The ground just gave way under me,” Harry Kane explained to Sky Sports, via Goal.com. “I saw it before the game. There was a new patch of grass just on the penalty spot.”
He also had a lot of fun with the big, bad miss, laughing it off as an audition for his potential NFL place-kicking career. So after failing at one task abbreviated PK (penalty kick) he then tossed out the idea of taking on another sporting initiative known as a PK (place-kicking)
Check out the Tweet below from his official account:
If there's any @NFL teams looking for a kicker in the future, have a look at my game tonight! ? #SOUTOT

Harry Kane, everybody! The next Morten Andersen in the making. Well, not really, but his National Football League related humor is amusing.
