Why didn't the Brighton players complain about the free kick given ?

The video hosted here shows the play. This is where I guess our internal biases come in. I see a guy making the movements to go for a header in Lallana and a player in Kane that has every intention to stroll back and play for the foul.
Seen it over and over... No-one seems to want to answer my question:
"What 'play' do you suggest Lallana was attempting exactly?
...A spectacular bullet header for an own goal?"
I jest in the latter part, but that's a defensive header that week in week out literally never gets made... No-one heads the ball back into their box like that... No-one.
Lallana was dumb.
No bias.
You can't lead with your knee and forearm that high and smash into someone. Foul all day regardless if being backed into.
Kane did try to back into him and Lallana saw it coming so went to take him out instead. If Lallana challenged safely for a header he would have probably won a foul himself.

They did. Here you go, video showing some of them, including Bissouma and the number 34 at the time calling for a free kick for them and the ref being badgered by Gross while VAR looked at it.
Harry Kane explains why Tottenham penalty after incident with Adam Lallana was rightly awarded
Spurs captain Harry Kane won and converted penalty in 2-1 Premier League win over Brighton after Adam Lallana jumped on the striker; Kane has been accused of diving, although referee Graham Scott and VAR Jonathan Moss believed it was a foul
But even if they didn't it wouldn't necessarily mean anything, there have been times, like the Aurier penalty that Mane bought for Liverpool where players don't complain much, but should (even most of our supporters were blaming Aurier) and wouldn't change the fact that whatever Lallana did, Kane made absolutely no attempt to go for the ball, just looked to see where Lallana was and bought a pen. I have no problem with it, even Kane admits in that interview it's a 50/50 decision.
You don't judge what happens by reaction of others, you judge it by you know...what actually happened.
I don't think it was an outrageous bit of cheating by Kane, but he won that pen with a bit of smart thinking, but I'm not alone in thinking most times that kind of play would see a free kick go the other way.
And my initial point stands, without that pen we don't win that game, a game which neither side created much and they had 57% of the ball.

Possession without penetration means nothing.
We rinsed them as far as XG goes..... You seem to be conveniently overlooking the fact their goal (and only proper shot) was bullshit too.
Weigl is reachable, but he hasn't really impressed at Benfica
I wonder how
bus-conductor
would feel if it was Sissoko who had Jumped into another player and gave away a penalty!? 
Can we get back to Transfers? See pool area linked to Skriniar, not sure if there is much in it or the media are just going to link them to any CB this window ?
Eze had a good game for Palace today. Does this mean he is the new missing link for our squad? Fuck Levy for not getting it done?
This window we really need to copy Everton.
I’m very jealous of them and wish we was like them and had their season

If we’d signed Ben Godfrey for £25m, the title would already be in the bag.
Allan looks completely lost doesn’t he.
According to comms yesterday, Dacoure was never good enough for what they needed either.....
Fancy that......
I like doucoure but he had an atrocious 10/15 minute period in the second half when he should of given them an equaliser, got booked for a poor challenge and gave it away numerous times.
He won't get him as their is no need but Fulgini of Angers is amazing, a future star, he's 24 but whoever he goes to next the hype about him will start

Lyon general manager Vincent Ponsont has revisited Woolwich's attempts to sign Houssem Aouar over the summer.
Woolwich 's technical director Edu has already confirmed that the two clubs did engage in some talks, but ultimately a deal was unable to be completed.
Ponsont has now gone into more detail on their approach, while also suggesting he could be available when the window re-opens in January.

Dele to PSG and Sissoko to... and get Aouar just to witness the AFTV meltdown
