England's hopes for a penalty against DR Congo were dealt a blow, but not everyone agrees with the decision.
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg, who took charge of the Euro 2016 final, has expressed his disagreement with the suggestion that Harry Kane was guilty of simulation.
'My first impression was as Kane is going towards the goalkeeper, the only thing that the referee has to look at is does the goalkeeper go into the path of Harry Kane? Yes, he does,' Clattenburg said.
'That is not a simulation. There is a clear contact. FIFA's instructions to the referee is when there is a contact, it must be certainly not a simulation.'
Clattenburg argued that the referee should have taken another look at the incident to award a penalty kick.
Former Premier League assistant Darren Cann also feels that England should have been given a penalty.
'This is so difficult, there are four of us here and two think it is a penalty and two think it is not a penalty,' Cann said.
'So therefore it is not clear and obvious. There's a small touch on Harry Kane's ankle and as Joe [Hart] says, you'd be expecting to give away a penalty. From the referee's angle you can see Kane puts his two feet together stumbles and it doesn't look to be much of a penalty.'
Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart also expressed his surprise at the decision, saying that he would have expected a penalty to be given if he was in that situation.
'My heart here, as soon as I miss that ball and I feel Harry Kane’s contact, I’m getting ready [for a penalty],' Hart said.
'If I’ve got it written on my water bottle, I’m working out where Harry Kane’s next penalty is going to be. He will be absolutely delighted when he looks up and sees the referee not giving this, because I would expect that to be given against me.'
