What were the highlights of England's performance against Spain?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 0:07
What a great start tonight for England. Marcus Rashford back in the side and back on the score sheet for his country. Two minutes late to those. Spain were level through Seoul. And then before half-time, they were in front. Set-piece routine. Rodrigo benefiting from that. And then right at the depth, deep into injury time, Danny Welbeck thought he'd equalised for England. Didn't turn out to be. Goal disallowed. What does England captain make of that? Harry Kane with Patrick Davison.
Patrick Davison 0:37
Harry Barnstorm in finish, is there a feeling that it should have earned you a draw with Danny Welbeck at the end there?
Harry Kane 0:42
Yeah, 100%. In them big moments, you need a ref to stay strong and unfortunately he's bottled it. Danny Welbeck just stood there, the keepers went to catch it, fell on top of him and he's put it away and somehow the refs give it a foul. Like I say, in them big moments sometimes, you need a firm ref who who don't, under the pressure, give wrong decisions, really. So, disappointing to finish that way. I thought we played well, especially second half. And, yeah, we deserved the draw, at least. You were right in there for the well-backed goal that wasn't. Did it look clear to you? Yeah, like I said, Danny just stood there and De Gea has gone up and he's caught the ball, but as he's come down, he's fell on top of Danny.

How did the controversial disallowed goal impact the match outcome?

Harry Kane 1:24
He ain't gone to foul him or anything and the ball's dropped. So, keepers sometimes get... better treatment than the rest of us, and that's unfortunate for us. Overall, you wanted teams, opponents that would push you to the limit.
Patrick Davison 1:36
Did you get that tonight?
Harry Kane 1:38
Yeah, it was a good game. It's a real test against a team who keep the ball really well.

What does Harry Kane think about England's chances after the match?

Harry Kane 1:43
But look, there were stages where they kept the ball and it was difficult for us, but we had a good spell throughout the game as well. So we probably created better chances throughout the game, and like I say, I think we deserved the draw at least. physically pretty tough up top feeding off scraps at times when they've dominated the ball yeah it's tough like I said we tried to press we tried to play with high intensity without the ball and like I said they're a very good team sometimes if you're a little bit late they pop it around you and you're running so It's a tough game, but this is what this competition is about. We're going to play the best teams around the world, and Spain are certainly one of them.
Harry Kane 2:18
There's a lot of stuff we can learn from, but I think we can hold our heads up high and put in a good performance.
Patrick Davison 2:23
Also, losing Luke Shaw in pretty scary circumstances we understand is OK, but do you think that affected you for a time?
Harry Kane 2:30
It's never nice to see one of your teammates go down, especially like that, it looked horrible. I haven't seen Luki yet, so hopefully he's all good, but it's never nice for anyone to see that. I don't think it affected us, I thought we tried to play after that, we traded chances, maybe it could have been a bit more clinical.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 2:54
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is here tonight with Jermaine Defoe and Jamie Carragher. Alex, do you think that England actually would have deserved something more than that?
Jermain Defoe 3:01
I think if you look at the chances, especially created in the second half and obviously the disallowed goal at the end, you've got to say that we deserved more there. I think Harry hit the nail on the head there. We made good chances, we just needed to be more clinical at times and I think we're definitely unlucky with the disallowed goal at the end. Do you think they were encouraging signs, Jermaine? I think so. I thought the second half was a lot better.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 3:23
The second half of the second half.
Unknown 3:25
The second half of the second half, of course, yeah. But no, I thought it was good, encouraging, created chances. Marcus had a good chance. He'll probably be massively disappointed with that. Probably should have scored. When you watch it back, he didn't really get good contact on the ball. And with Danny Wilbert's goal here, I can't see how that's a free kick, to be honest. He even ducks out of the way, so the goalkeeper doesn't...
