Harry Kane voiced his frustration over the controversial call that ruled out England’s potential equaliser against Senegal, insisting: “If you know the rules, it’s not handball.”England fell to their first-ever defeat against an African team on Tuesday night, losing 3-1 after goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and a late dagger in the 93rd minute from Cheikh Sabaly.”It’s a crazy decision” 🤔Harry Kane was unhappy with the decision to disallow Jude Bellingham’s goal last night 🏴 pic.twitter.com/99NrdPM6Id— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) June 11, 2025 Moments before Sabaly’s goal, the Three Lions thought they were level when Jude Bellingham poked the ball into the net during a chaotic scramble in Senegal’s box. The celebrations were short-lived. After a VAR review, referee Stephanie Frappart was called to the monitor and ultimately ruled the goal out — the ball had come off Levi Colwill’s arm, though unintentionally and not in the act of scoring, which typically wouldn’t lead to disallowing a goal.Kane, who had opened the scoring for England with his 73rd international goal, didn’t hold back in his post-match interview with ITV: “If you know the rules, it’s not handball… It would have got us back in the game at 2-2 and maybe we would have gone on and won the game, so it’s quite a big moment.” He added, “But that’s something to discuss with them after.”Iliman Ndiaye’s reaction when Jude Bellingham’s equalising goal was disallowed against Senegal 😭👍 pic.twitter.com/sxHX3Gkahf— OneFootball (@OneFootball) June 10, 2025 Bellingham’s frustration was clear at full-time. He charged toward the assistant referee to protest, then lashed out by kicking a cooler on the sidelines. Kane had to guide him back toward the pitch to regroup and show sportsmanship as Senegal celebrated.##NAJAVA_MECA_8973580##
