Former Premier League referee chief gives verdict on controversial England penalty in Euro 2024 semi-final – and responds to Gary Neville after the pundit branded call ‘absolute disgrace’

Gareth Southgate’s side had trailed 1-0 early on through an impressive Xavi Simons strike, but were handed a spot kick from seemingly nowhere when Harry Kane was clipped by Denzel Dumfries.

Kane had skied his effort, but after a VAR check, referee Felix Zwayer pointed to the spot, with Kane slotting home to get the better of Bart Verbruggen from 12 yards to square the game back up.

The call didn’t come without controversey, however, with Jamie Carragher leading the social media slamming of the decision, despite it benefitting England.

Taking to social media too, former Premier League official Keith Hackett, who worked in the league in its first two years as the Premier League after rising to the top level around 20 years prior and was also once in charge of PGMOL, slammed the call.
