Wayne Rooney has taken to Twitter to send a message to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane after his penalty miss for England against France in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup on Saturday evening.
The former Manchester United and England international forward has urged Kane to keep his head up and not be too down after failing to score from the penalty spot late in the game against France.
Rooney is also happy that the 29-year-old Tottenham striker has equalled his goal-record for England.
Kane scored for England from the penalty spot in the 54th minute when he beat his Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris in the France goal.
The striker had the chance to make it 2-2 in the 84th minute from the penalty spot again, but this time he could not keep his effort on target.
France won the quarter-final tie 2-1 and will now face Morocco for a place in the final.
Kane’s goal against France was his 53rd for England, meaning that Tottenham striker is now tied with Rooney as the highest scorer for the Three Lions.
