Harry Kane reacts to penalty miss in England’s defeat to Spain

Harry Kane described his penalty miss as “unfortunate” after England suffered a 3-2 defeat to Spain according to Hayters. The England captain slipped with his standing foot while taking the spot-kick, resulting in a double touch that would have ruled out the goal even if it had gone in.

Kane admitted the incident was difficult to accept, particularly given the work he puts into penalties. He also felt England created enough opportunities to get more from the game but lacked the necessary execution in the final third. The striker maintained that England are close to Spain’s level, although he acknowledged that Spain’s trophies currently provide the stronger evidence.
