England report Kamil Glik incident to the FA after ugly scenes vs Poland at half-time
Harry Kane has revealed that an incident involving England defender Harry Maguire and Poland’s Kamil Glik has been reported to the Football Association. Maguire and Glik were both booked by referee Daniel Siebert as the teams headed in for half-time following a lacklustre first half.
Manchester United defender Maguire was seen furiously gesticulating to the Poland international in the immediate aftermath of Siebert blowing his whistle to end the opening period.
The cameras had initially panned to show the crowd, as is the norm at the start of half-time.
But they soon diverted the broadcast back to the pitch where a brawl had started.
Kane could be seen trying to drag Maguire away from Glik, while substitute Kieran Trippier was also trying to calm down his team-mates.
Players from both teams were shown pushing each other as tensions continued to spill over in Warsaw.
JUST IN: Southgate explains why late Poland equaliser could be good for England
Kane’s long-range effort flew into the bottom corner to hand England the lead. It was the Tottenham striker’s 41st goal for his country as he closes in on Wayne Rooney’s record of 53.
But Poland equalised in added-time. Damian Szymanski headed past Jordan Pickford to deny the Everton shot-stopper yet another clean sheet on international duty.
Southgate was frustrated with the goal his side conceded.
“Really, the qualification’s done if we take three points tonight,” he said. “We were pretty much in Qatar.
“We had a warning with the goal kick that was charged down. There were a couple of sloppy moments at the end. We’re right to be disappointed. We shouldn’t concede.
“A lapse of concentration and poor defending and good teams will punish you.
“Maybe it’s not a bad thing we’ve had a punch on the nose at the end.”
