Spurs striker Kane pleads for patience from England fans

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is urging England fans not to panic after defeat in Spain.

After winning all 10 of their qualifiers, England were being tipped as dark horses for the tournament, but they were given a reality check by holders Spain in Alicante last Friday.

"People need to stay patient," the Tottenham striker said. "We're not going to win every game. We're playing these teams for a reason, to get experience.

"We've got to stay confident. We know what we want to do and what we want to achieve.

"We've got another tough test against France (on Tuesday), which we want to win.

"We've got to keep doing things right, don't panic and go from there."
