Might as well stop defending. Is it a pen if Dumfries' foot is on the ground instead of in the air? For me Dumfries tries to block the shot, not hit the man. It's Kane's follow through that takes him through Dumfries's foot...

 

As per https://files.leagueathletics.com/Text/Documents/11116/28718.pdf (which seems to be directly taken from the official rules).

 

Playing in a dangerous manner is defined as any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player himself). It is committed with an opponent nearby and prevents the opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury. A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that, in the opinion of the referee, it is not dangerous to an opponent. Playing in a dangerous manner involves no physical contact between the players. If there is physical contact, the action becomes an offence punishable with a direct free kick or penalty kick. In the case of physical contact, the referee should carefully consider the high probability that misconduct has also been committed

If Dumfries goes down you could argue it’s a foul the other way. Such an unnecessary and bullshit VAR interference.
