Harry Kane’s crucial penalty miss in England’s World Cup defeat against France is fuelling his desire to win trophies.
While the England Skipper believes that such a moment is part of football, he noted that it has not been easy to let it go.
The Three Lions crashed out at the quarter-final stage in Qatar after Kane hammered an 84th-minute penalty over the crossbar with England 2-1 down against the eventual runners-up.
“It was a tough moment for me,” Kane told Standard Sport. “It’s never an easy thing to go through, but it’s part of football, part of the highs and lows of our sport.
“I had a bit of time away after, just to reflect, and it’s made me even more hungry to come back and be successful.
“So nights like last night [Spurs’ victory at Palace] are always good for me and the team, and it was much needed after the last couple of results as well.”
Kane has scored three Premier League goals in as many games since returning to club side Tottenham hoping to put his World Cup disappointment behind him.
The striker netted twice in a 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Wednesday, moving him to 264 goals for Spurs and within two of the club’s all-time record goalscorer Jimmy Greaves
