Kylian Mbappe let out a roar of approval after Harry Kane spurned the chance to save England’s World Cup hopes from the spot.
The Three Lions crashed out at the quarter-final stage losing 2-1 to France in a game filled with controversy. Following Aurelien Tchouameni’s early strike, England responded bravely and were aggrieved to not be awarded a spot kick after Dayot Upamecano upended the Tottenham striker in the box.
Referee Wilton Sampaio dismissed those shouts as the reigning world champions went into the break with the slender lead. Less than ten minutes into the second half, England were given the opportunity to level when Buakyo Saka was clearly fouled in the box.
