Didier Drogba has offered Harry Kane his support after the Tottenham striker missed a decisive penalty against France as England fell to a 2-1 defeat in the last eight of the World Cup.

The Ivory Coast legend was full of praise for the Three Lions skipper's performances in the tournament, and insisted that the experience would only prove to be a benefit in future.

Kane had taken to Twitter on Sunday morning in the aftermath of the gut-wrenching defeat to claim 'responsibility' for the missed penalty, and admitted that he felt 'absolutely gutted'.
