- Striker scores at Brentford in first game since penalty miss
- Antonio Conte says opposing fans ‘should clap’ England captain
Antonio Conte has backed Harry Kane to put his World Cup disappointment behind him and suggested opposition fans should show appreciation for the England striker instead of abusing him, as was the case during Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Brentford on Monday.
In his first appearance since missing a penalty against France that ultimately cost England the chance to progress in Qatar, Kane found himself on the receiving end of taunts from home supporters at the Gtech Community Stadium, with some suggesting he had let his country down. Kane responded in typical fashion – scoring with a 65th-minute header that sparked a comeback from Spurs after they had found themselves 2-0 down against Thomas Frank’s side.
