Harry Kane dismisses penalty theory as he fronts up after England's World Cup 2022 exit

Harry Kane has spoken out after his heartbreaking penalty miss saw England knocked out of the World Cup by France.

Kane got England level with his 53rd international goal, converting a penalty after Aurelien Tchouameni had given the reigning world champions a first half lead. However, he blazed a second attempt from the spot over the bar after Olivier Giroud had given France the lead for a second time.

The miss from 12 yards in the 85th minute proved costly as England were unable to find an equaliser and saw their World Cup dreams come to a heartbreaking end in Qatar. Kane cut a desolate figure amongst his devastated teammates at full-time but fronted up and spoke to the media in the aftermath of one of the toughest moments of his career.
