England fans fuming after Harry Kane denied penalty vs France despite VAR review with World Cup hopes in the balance

ENGLAND fans were left fuming after Harry Kane was denied a penalty against France.

The controversial incident occurred around 10 minutes after the defending World Cup champs took the lead through Aurelien Tchouameni.

Kane appeared to be brought down by Dayot Upamecano
A VAR check decided it was not a penalty

Kane burst towards the French box from the right flank as England desperately searched for an equaliser.

He was quickly closed down by Dayot Upamecano from behind.

But the centre-back appeared to knock Kane’s leg as the Three Lions skipper darted into the box.

To Kane’s amazement, the referee signalled to continue the game before play came to a stop.

VAR then decided to take a look at the incident in a lengthy check.

However, they ultimately decided that it was NOT a penalty, leaving Kane stunned.

And England backers were far from happy with the decision.

Piers Morgan raged: “That was a blatant penalty.”;

Gary Lineker stormed: “One of these days, just once, we might get a decision in our favour.”;

Chris Kamara added: “Penalty all day long.”;

Fans were particularly irate with most feeling France’s opener was undeserved due to an unpunished foul by Upamecano on Bukayo Saka in the build-up.

One Tweeted: “What a bull***t France goal.. coming from a foul against Saka that was not given. Absolute joke.”;

Another said: “Clear foul on Saka, what a joke.”;
