Former Tottenham midfielder Steffen Freund slammed England coach Gareth Southgate's style of play after their World Cup semifinal defeat to Croatia.

Freund believes England's tactics failed Harry Kane on the night.

"Harry Kane never got a kick tonight. Prior to tonight, he had five shots on target in all the games," he said.

"Harry Kane does not get shots on target because nobody is passing him any quality passes.

"He's not getting any supply. Harry Kane will come back from that with the Golden Boot, but I don't know the boy he might be happy, but Harry Kane will not be happy playing in that style of football."
