Yet Cash still slid in recklessly and, when Kane tumbled after feeling contact, referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot.
Neville told Sky Sports: “He’s miscontrolled it and the ball’s gone out of play but it’s reckless from Cash.
“The slide’s going to cost him. He makes a mess of it, Harry Kane, and runs past it.
“In the end it’s cute from Kane. Some won’t like it but the naivety.
“You go to ground in the box and don’t get the ball you’ve no chance.”
Spurs opened the scoring, against the run of play, through Carlos Vinicius’ close-range finish.

It was a much-needed result for Spurs after their shocking Europa League exit against Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday.
The victory lifts Tottenham up to sixth in the Premier League and within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea.
