England defender James Tarkowski admits he “stood on his foot,” but that doesn’t make it a penalty on Italy winger Federico Chiesa.

The incident proved decisive in the 1-1 draw at Wembley Stadium, as Lorenzo Insigne’s spot-kick awarded using VAR cancelled out a Jamie Vardy opener.

“I stood on his foot but I didn't think a lot of it,” the debutant told ITV.

“I stood on his foot but I didn't think a lot of it,” the debutant told ITV.

“It is what it is – I’m not going to complain. It's been a great experience this week. It’s never a penalty.

“It would have been nice to have two wins (after Friday’s 1-0 win in the Netherlands), but I think there's a lot of positives to take. We look forward to the World Cup now.”
