But the centre-back appeared to knock Kane’s leg as the Three Lions skipper darted into the box.
To Kane’s amazement, the referee signalled to continue the game before play came to a stop.
VAR then decided to take a look at the incident in a lengthy check.
However, they ultimately decided that it was NOT a penalty, leaving Kane stunned.
And England backers were far from happy with the decision.
Piers Morgan raged: “That was a blatant penalty.”;
Gary Lineker stormed: “One of these days, just once, we might get a decision in our favour.”;
Chris Kamara added: “Penalty all day long.”;
Fans were particularly irate with most feeling France’s opener was undeserved due to an unpunished foul by Upamecano on Bukayo Saka in the build-up.
One Tweeted: “What a bull***t France goal.. coming from a foul against Saka that was not given. Absolute joke.”;
Another said: “Clear foul on Saka, what a joke.”;
