England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's caring gesture to Harry Kane after he missed World Cup penalty

Jordan Pickford made a caring gesture towards Harry Kane after the England captain missed a penalty against France in the World Cup quarter final match on Saturday.

France went through to the semi-finals after defeating the Three Lions 2-1, leaving England fans and players heartbroken. Harry Kane was inconsolable on the pitch after the final whistle and was surrounded by his England teammates.

Former Sunderland player and Mackem Pickford pleaded with television cameras to stop filming Kane after his penalty miss. The Washington-born goalkeeper, who was standing alongside Kieran Trippier, strode forward and eased camera operators away from Kane, who was being consoled by other players. Pickford continued to reason with the camera operators before pictures from the feed cut away to focus on other players.
