Harry Kane expresses his frustration after England's defeat
Harry Kane missed a decisive penalty at the end of the match, sealing England's 2-3 defeat to Spain on Saturday night in the Nations League. The English goal, scored by Kane, was not enough to overturn the course of the game, and the Three Lions eventually gave way to the world and European champions.
A match full of twists
The Three Lions fell at the end of a match full of twists, despite an encouraging performance. Thomas Tuchel's men showed moments of brilliance before yielding under the pressure of the champions.
Harry Kane, scorer during the match, also missed a crucial penalty, which heightened his bitterness. He did not hide his displeasure during the press conference that followed the final whistle.
"We held them up," Kane said. "As I have already said, we reached a good level at the World Cup, but we did not manage to maintain the same pace over 90 minutes. The assessment is undoubtedly similar for this match."
He reminded that England were facing the world champions and the European champions, highlighting the quality of the evening's opponent. "We had good moments, we hadn't played this well in a long time, and that's the level we know we can reach," he added.
England will now have to turn the page quickly. Thomas Tuchel's men will face the Czech Republic next Tuesday, at the Fortuna Arena in Prague, with the ambition of moving forward.
