The former England striker said the team’s efforts in the 1-1 draw were “s***” during an episode of The Rest is Football podcast.

When asked if Lineker should “stick to flogging crisps,” Kane responded: “What maybe ex-players have got to realise is that it’s very hard not to listen to it.

“They have a responsibility of being an ex-England player that a lot of players look up to, people do care about what they say... We haven’t won [anything] for a long time and a lot of these players were part of that as well and they know how tough it is.”
