Striker says it has made him ‘even more hungry’ to be successful
Kane vows it will not affect him ‘as a player or as a person’

Harry Kane has admitted he will always be haunted by his World Cup penalty miss against France. The England captain lifted high over the bar in the 84th minute of the 2-1 quarter-final defeat in Qatar and cut a broken figure afterwards.

It was the first serious on-field setback of Kane’s senior career, after he established himself in the Tottenham team in the 2014-15 season, but he said he would not allow it to undermine his performances.
