For those claiming Kane becomes onside after Lovren's touch, that's not the case. This (example 13) is from page 116 of FIFA's laws of the game. A sliced clearance by Lovren does not constitute a deliberate touch. Officials got it wrong.

This is not denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
The ball isn’t under control - it’s a few feet off the ground - it’s still a distance from goal and Zander Clark is closing him down.
The intervention of VAR is unnecessary.

Hearts are being linked with another Japanese player, 23yo left-winger Kanji Okunuki from Omiya Ardija.
The attacking midfielder spent last season on loan at Górnik Zabrze and wants to continue his career in Europe.

LAW 12 - FOULS & MISCONDUCT
Careless - a foul, no further action is necessary
Reckless - a cautionable offence
Using Excessive Force - the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring an opponent = red card
This is an atrocious decision.
If that’s a straight red card I’ll eat my glasses whole, unbelievable decision 🤣
