The Golden Boot race took an ugly turn earlier today, as the FA decided to grant Harry Kane a goal they had originally awarded to Christian Eriksen.
Kane made an attempt to head the ball against Stoke, but failed to touch it before it found the back of the net. Spurs would go on to win the game, but it was that decision that has now raised a few eyebrows.
Apparently, Kane's plea to the FA included the striker begging for the goal "on his daughter's life", and football's governing body in England granted his request.
Have a look at the goal and decide for yourself.
The Premier League has awarded Harry Kane a goal that he was not involved in. Strange.

Here's how fans reacted to this ruling. Some of those were quite hilarious and not necessarily football-related.
