Premier League players have come under "unfair criticism" during the coronavirus pandemic, says England captain Harry Kane.

He whumps a pass into Matic, the ball falls to Jimenez, and as Maguire ploughs in he squirts through to Neto, who sits Romero down and passes home the opener. GOAL DISALLOWED!
