Harry Kane was on the receiving side of some fierce challenges of a former Tottenham teammate during their friendly against Bayern Munich on Thursday.
Kane, 32, returned to Northern London with the Bundesliga champions while calling TP a 4-0 win over his old club in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The captain of England opened the score in front of Vincent Kompany before goals from Kingsley Coman, Lennart Kart and Jonah Kusi-Asare completed the routes.
While he was able to get to the score sheet, Kane was subject to various robust challenges from ex-colleague Cristian Romero.
The Argentinian defender clattered for the first time in Kane after just six minutes, while he plowed through the back of him.
Romero, 27, was then shown a yellow card in the 41st minute of the friendly pulling of Kane back while he was about to fill a counterattack.
The rough treatment of Kane from the middle behind went on to the second half, while he bundled in Kane for 58 minutes after he had missed an attempt to go for the ball.
He saw that Kane needed a moment to have sent himself to the turf through Romero.
The appearance of a club legend in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium follows the departure of another – as son Heung -M came to Los Angeles FC on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old was officially unveiled earlier this week by his new side after completing a relocation worth more than £ 20 million and record compensation paid by an MLS club.
It was no secret that he was on the road this summer and he was noticed in the stands during the 2-1 victory of Lafc against Tigres the day before the announcement.
During his introductory press conference in Los Angeles, the South Korean legend son revealed that he had to be persuaded to make the switch to the United States, before a conversation led to him “changing his heart” and signed a first two-year-old deal.
“They have absolutely worked so hard to get me here to become a member of Lafc,” Son said.
'If I'm honest, it wasn't my first choice but John [Thorrington, LAFC general manager] Was the first phone call when the season ended and John changed ideas.
“He changed my heart. I am so happy to see all the Korean fans, I was in the game and I saw you supporting you as crazy and I wanted to run on the field and show my performance.
'I am here to win and I will perform.
'I will certainly show you something exciting in … Do we call football or football? I will definitely show you some exciting football, and we will be successful. '
