Burnley defender James Tarkowski frustrated with Italy penalty call

Burnley defender James Tarkowski insists he never fouled Enrico Chiesa for Italy's penalty on Tuesday night.

The incident proved decisive in the 1-1 draw between England and Italy, 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.

“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."
