Shearer Demands Penalty for Kane After Controversial Call vs DR Congo
Former England captain Alan Shearer has backed Harry Kane following a disputed moment in the World Cup Round of 32 clash against DR Congo. Shearer insists Kane was fouled when the Congolese goalkeeper rushed out and made contact. “There is no doubt it’s a penalty,” he declared during live coverage, adding that Kane had every right to go down. Despite falling behind to an early DR Congo strike, England dominated possession but struggled to break down a resilient defence. The missed penalty call has reignited debate over refereeing standards at the 2026 tournament. Fans and pundits alike are buzzing over whether England were unfairly denied a spot kick in one of the World Cup’s most talked-about knockout games.
