Arsene Wenger gives thoughts on Harry Kane taking both England penalties vs France

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested there was never a chance Harry Kane was not going to take England's second penalty in their defeat to France.

Three Lions captain Kane brought his team level at 1-1 early in the second half, beating his Tottenham team-mate Hugo Lloris from 12 yards after Bukayo Saka was brought down in the area. Kane later has a chance to score a second equaliser from the penalty spot when Theo Hernandez barged Mason Mount to the ground, but he blazed his effort over the bar.

Back in 2018, Kane scored two penalties in the same World Cup game as England beat Panama. It didn't look for a second as though the skipper would let someone else step up, and Wenger was not at all surprised by the decision.
