England's penalty heartache at the World Cup continued when Kane missed a second spot-kick six minutes from time
Kane led the England fightback, forcing long-term club-mate Hugo Lloris into two saves, one from inside the six-yard box and another from long-range. Squeezed between those efforts was an unsuccessful penalty appeal that was contentiously ignored by referee Wilton Sampaio and after a delay, disregarded by the VAR.
Griezmann, a Golden Boot winner at Euro 2016 and France’s third-highest scorer in history, has been repackaged and repurposed as an all-action midfielder in Qatar. He epitomised France’s aggressive approach, snapping around ankles before eventually earning a yellow card with his third offence before the break. English fans cheered in response, a reaction that betrayed their feelings of injustice.
England started the second half in the ascendancy. Moments after being scythed down by Dembele, Jude Bellingham forced Lloris into another acrobatic stop with a sweetly struck volley that spun elegantly through the air. And then a penalty was given, when Tchouameni clamped Saka’s calf. Kane stepped up, faced Lloris in the eye for the thousandth time from this position and won the battle of the wits, sending his Spurs ally the wrong way.
