England defender Kyle Walker was bemused by the penalty decision given against him in the first half of the Three Lions’ triumph over Tunisia in their first game at the World Cup. Gareth Southgate’s men saw their lead cancelled out after referee Wilmar Rondon punished Walker’s challenge on Fakhreddine Ben Youssef but the Manchester City rightback does not believe he deserved to have been punished.
“I got a call from Kieran (Trippier) to leave it so I tried to make myself as big as possible, and he ran into my arm.” Ferjani Sassi made no mistake from the spot, and England struggled against a some resolute Tunisian defending until Kane finally ensured three points with a last-minute header.
