Harry Kane has dismissed the claim that the penalty he scored against France in the quarter-finals affected his second penalty as England exited the World Cup. The Tottenham star scored from 12 yards after Bukayo Saka was brought down by Aurelien Tchouameni but blazed over a second spot kick less than 30 minutes later.
Before Tchouameni felled Saka, the Real Madrid midfielder gave France the lead with a crisp long-range effort that flew into the bottom corner. Kane then equalised from the penalty spot early in the second half which saw him go level with Wayne Rooney as England's all-time top scorer on 53 goals.
Gareth Southgate's side dominated the game, but were caught cold when Olivier Giroud put the world champions back in front with just over 10 minutes to play. Moments later though, the England captain had the chance to draw the game level again when second half substitute Mason Mount won a penalty after VAR intervention.
