AS YOU would expect, Harry Kane took it well, unfastening his armband and jogging smartly towards Kyle Walker to hand it over.
But it must have hurt. Being hooked with a good 20 minutes left probably always hurts.

And what must have hurt Kane most of all is that it was the right call.
In fact, by that point, it was a no-brainer.
It was an obvious shout, even though he had scored the 64th goal of his England career and his 13th in tournament football – a goal that eventually meant Gareth Southgate’s team took away a point their performance did not deserve.
But of all the worrying, errorridden, below-par individual displays in this desperately disappointing England showing, Kane’s was one of the most eye-catching.
