   • 2018 June 18, Phil McNulty, “Tunisia 1 - 2 England”, in BBC Sport‎^[1]:

     Tunisia dug in to frustrate England in the second half but Kane was the match-winner with a late header from Harry Maguire's flick, justice being done after referee Wilmar Roldan and the video assistant referee (VAR) had failed to spot him being wrestled to the ground twice in the penalty area.
