Fortune is on Spain's side! Kane misses a penalty in Nations League match. VIDEO

England missed a golden chance to extend their lead against Spain at Wembley. In the 53rd minute, the hosts had the opportunity to make it 3–1, but Harry Kane failed to convert from the penalty spot.

The penalty was awarded after a VAR review. The referee looked back at an incident involving Rodri and Jude Bellingham and ruled that a foul had been committed inside the box. Kane stepped up, but his attempt ended in disappointment.

The striker slipped slightly as he struck the ball and sent it straight against the crossbar. As a result, Kane missed a superb opportunity to score his second goal of the match and strengthen England's lead.

Meanwhile, the penalty incident sparked further debate over the nature of the kick: the replay showed that Kane first touched the ball with his left foot before making contact with his right. However, the main takeaway was that the forward failed to change the scoreline.
