An Arsenal legend has hit out at the German media for the criticism of Bayern Munich star Harry Kane.
The England international received some criticism after the draw with Bayer Leverkusen last weekend in the Bundesliga.

Kane was also criticised after the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League this week, where he registered just two shots.
Former Gunners star Martin Keown has defended the former Tottenham Hotspur star, who has scored 10 goals this season.
“I think the German media are having an absolute laugh to be criticising him after what he’s done for Bayern since he’s been there,” Keown told talkSPORT.
“He isn’t the reason they didn’t win the Bundesliga last year. He’s been magnificent. He could’ve got them back into the game against Villa right at the end but Emi Martinez made a great save.
“I find it ridiculous. If he was German he would be lauded and we’d be talking about him for years to come, but in Germany for some reason they want to criticise him.
“It’s out of order. 54 goals in 53 games is not someone who is not doing it.”
