Harry Kane revealed he did research on David Raya after Laura Woods jokingly accused him of taking the mick out of the Arsenal keeper.
Kane started up-front for Bayern Munich as they travelled to Arsenal for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday. The England captain stepped up to send Raya the wrong way with a penalty just after the half-hour mark.
Leroy Sane had been brought down in the box by William Saliba's ill-judged tackle. As usual, Kane stepped up, with Raya diving down to his right as the Bayern striker rolled the ball to the keeper's left.
That goal was Kane's 14th in 20 games against the Gunners, with the striker now having scored more at the Emirates Stadium then any other opposition player. Woods cheekily accused him of taking the mick out of Raya, though he laughed those suggestions off.
Woods was hosting TNT Sports' coverage of the game and led the post-match interview with Kane. As a replay of his penalty was shown on the screen, she said: "Took the mick there, didn't you?"

Kane laughed at Woods' comment, before saying: "I know there wasn’t just Bayern fans watching tonight. There was maybe a bit more pressure, but it’s always a tough game.
"I did a bit of research on his game against Porto and he (Raya) gets to the corners early so I had to probably change my style a little bit, but that is part of it and it was nice to see him go early and make it easier for me."

But he insisted that Arsenal are a difficult proposition, with everything still to play for in the tie.
"It was a tough game. Leading up to that goal we lost two of three duels in a row and then (Gabriel) Jesus is really dangerous in the box with the chop he has and unfortunately for us he found (Leandro) Trossard there," he added.
"Overall, it was a really tough game and, of course, we are never happy when we don’t win - it was a tough point away from home. You have seen it over the last couple of years, maybe in my last season at Tottenham they were really strong and had a good go at trying to win the league.
"They are a really good team and we changed our plan a little bit today in terms of how we defended without the ball. They keep the ball well and find the spaces, but we know we are playing a top team and they are top of the Premier League for a reason.
"We'll be more aggressive without the ball. Having no fans here was tough so to have a full stadium back in Munich will push us on. With the ball we can be better, hopefully we can put their backs against the ropes."
