England have been knocked out of the 2022 World Cup against France in the quarter-finals. Three Lions captain Harry Kane scored a penalty and later missed one as Les Bleus claimed a 2-1 victory in Qatar.
Aurelien Tchouameni scored France's opening goal in the 17th minute before Kane equalised with a penalty early in the second half. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka was seemingly fouled in the build-up to Les Bleus' opening goal in the first half but VAR deemed that the goal was allowed to stand.
The Tottenham striker was also fouled in the first half but VAR denied England a penalty after Dayot Upamecano made a rash challenge inside the area. Mason Mount won a penalty late in the second half but Kane was unable to convert his second spot kick of the match, blazing his shot way over the crossbar.

The England players were left dejected and devastated after the full-time whistle was blown after a game full of controversial referee and VAR decisions. Southgate was seen heading straight to his captain to console Kane after he had missed the chance to equalise a second time for England.
Kylian Mbappe was delighted as he celebrated Kane's miss from the spot with France going on to see the game out and secure their place in the semi-finals against Morocco. After comforting Kane, Southgate went around his players to pick them up one at a time with talented midfielder Jude Bellingham in tears on the pitch.
