Fans love Dean Henderson’s celebration as he ends Harry Kane’s penalty streak

Nottingham Forest stopper's Dean Henderson's exuberant celebration after ending Harry Kane's lengthy streak of penalty success for Tottenham delighted fans on Sunday (August 28).

Although Henderson ended up on the losing team with Kane scoring in both halves of the Premier League encounter, his celebration after the spot-kick save has got plenty of social media reaction.

The on-loan Manchester United man dived down low to his right as Kane went for his favourite spot – pushing the ball out of the box and then taking his baseball cap off in celebration and waving it to fans.

With the crowd going wild despite trailing by a goal to nil, the cameras focused on Henderson after he made up for Steve Cook's baffling hand-ball.

The celebration was no doubt down to Kane's history from the spot, having scored 21 penalties in a row for his club – although he did see one saved by Kasper Schmeichel at Euro 2020.

One fan wrote on Twitter: "Dean Henderson taking his hat off like he's just hit a half-century."

And a third adding: "Dean Henderson that celebration is class."

Kane spoke to Henderson after the match and spoke about his failed attempt from the spot, with the pair laughing and joking while covering their mouths in front of the cameras.

Henderson told Sky Sports when asked about Kane after the match: "He's unbelievable. I said in my pre-match interview that he's probably the best finisher that I've come up against.

"Slapped two past me, but I was happy to get the penalty over."
