France midfielder Adrien Rabiot has claimed that "justice" was done by Harry Kane missing his late penalty for England.
The Three Lions captain stunningly blazed his effort over the bar which allowed the French to edge through to the World Cup semi-final on the back of a narrow 2-1 win. Having already netted one spot-kick earlier in the second half, Kane stepped up for his second attempt at equalising after teammate Mason Mount was clumsily shoved over by Les Blues left-back Theo Hernandez, only to miss.
But unlike referee Wilton Sampaio, who was instructed by VAR to check his original call of no penalty, Rabiot rather unsurprisingly reckons that Hernandez's rash challenge wasn't enough for a penalty. "First of all, I'm not sure that it's really a foul. We've seen hundreds of actions like that that aren't given," the French midfielder declared post-match.
