Everybody would have bet the house on Harry Kane. The England captain had already scored one equaliser from the penalty spot, which had brought him level with Wayne Rooney on 53 goals – the all-time record for his country. Now, with this World Cup thriller back in France’s control after Olivier Giroud’s header put them back in front, Kane stood over the spot once more.
The penalty had been conceded by Theo Hernandez. It was an extraordinary rush of blood from the full-back, who barged into the back of the England substitute Mason Mount as they chased a high ball that was going over both of them. But an even bigger one was to come.
