he'll be stronger for it in the long run I'm sure. He's a world-class striker and our captain and we wouldn't have even been here without him."England had been confident of a good showing in Qatar after reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and the final of the European Championship last year."It feels like a missed chance because I felt the performances were really good and the focus and the hunger was good every single day," Henderson added."You've got to give credit to France, they're a good team.

But I think I felt it was there for us to win tonight. "England were chasing the game from the 17th minute when Aurelien Tchouameni put the reigning champions in front with a rasping long-range strike."It was disappointing to go 1-0 down but I thought we showed character and the mentality to keep going in the second half and find the equaliser," Henderson said."We gave it everything and it wasn't our night."​The first penalty was Kane's 53rd goal for his country, drawing him level with Wayne Rooney as England's all time top scorer in international football.Kane was top scorer in
