AL KHOR, Qatar \u2013 Harry Kane was the latest England player to feel penalty heartbreak as the Three Lions<\/i> endured a cruel World Cup quarterfinal exit, losing 2-1 to defending champion France on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Kane, outstanding throughout the match and the tournament until that moment, blasted his effort from the spot high of Hugo Lloris’ goal when given the chance to equalize for a second time after 84 minutes.<\/p>\n
In an enthralling encounter, France went ahead through Aurelien Tchouameni in the first half, only to see Kane level things with a penalty just after the interval.<\/p>\n
An Olivier Giroud gave the header Les Blues<\/i> the advantage once more, before Kane, normally so assured and having earlier equaled England’s all-time scoring record, seemed set to send things head for extra-time.<\/p>\n
Instead, when matched up against his Tottenham teammate Lloris, he opted for power, and pulled his jersey over his face as the ball sailed off into the Al Bayt Stadium stands.<\/p>\n
