Harry Kane felt how Jude Bellingham’s goal should have been against Senegal when England collapsed to defeat in her last international game of the season.
The three lions took the lead early, but were saved back five minutes before the break when Ismaila Sarr defended Kyle Walker to defend himself after the equalizer.

Habib Diarra used the stronger defense to put the visitors in the lead shortly after the hour, and then confirmed Cheick Tidiane Sabaly, a historical victory for the West African nation with the clincher in injury times.
Although it can be a different story.
When England followed the clock at five minutes in front of a goal, they thought they deserved a draw when Bellingham stood home after a corner.
However, the goal was not permitted because Levi Colwill had handled as the ball.
“If you know the rules, it is not a handball,” said Kane about the decision when he then delivered his assessment to ITV. “That brings us back into play and maybe we can win the game, so it’s a big moment.

“It is something we will discuss later.”

The defeat against Senegal was the first time that England had lost to an African nation, and the result comes hot after a lack of performance in the 1-0 victory against Andorra at the weekend.
Despite a less than impressive international window, Kane insists that there is no reason to panic.
He added: “We will not panic, but we know that we have to be better. New ideas, new players come to the team who have no experience at an international level.
“It is a mixture of things, but no excuses. We have to find them quickly, the World Cup will come over very quickly, so that every camp is really important at the moment.”
