Kane has missed penaltie, but if anyone was reliable on the big stage, it was him.
Meanwhile his coach Antonio Conte has backed him to put his penalty miss behind him as Tottenham return to Premier League action.
The England captain, who equalled Wayne Rooney’s all-time record of 53 goals for the Three Lions at the World Cup, could not convert
his second spot-kick of the game as Gareth Southgate’s fell to beaten finalists France at the quarter-final stage.
Usually so reliable from the spot, it was one of only 11 penalties the 29-year-old has failed to score in 69 attempts.

“Hugo [Lloris] lost the final and, instead, Cuti [Cristian Romero] won the final,” said the Spurs boss.
“For Harry, he missed a penalty, but I think he played a really good World Cup.
“For sure, they have to try and put to one side this experience.”
Conte’s side sit fourth in the Premier League table, three points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United but having played one more game.
