WATCH NEVILLE VS. WRIGHT

<p>"As a defender, I think it's an absolutely disgraceful decision," Neville said at half-time. "To have that given against me as a penalty at any time, let alone in such an important game. He just goes in naturally to try and block the shot. It's not a penalty for me. It's nowhere near a penalty. I have to say, there weren't many England players asking for it either."</p><p>When Wright called Dumfries "reckless", Neville replied: "Reckless? That is not reckless."</p>

WHAT NEVILLE SAID

<p>Kane's penalty levelled the scores after Xavi Simons' exquisite opener, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/declan-rice-torn-shreds-xavi-simons-england-stunned-sublime-early-euro-2024-semi-final-opener/blt9f0b0ce6a0120f17" target="_blank">which led to fans on social media criticising Declan Rice</a>.
