Harry Kane described Gareth Southgate’s decision to substitute him against Scotland as “part of the game” after another subdued night for the England captain.
For the second match running, Kane was substituted following an anonymous display as a lethargic England were held to a 0-0 draw by an impressive Scotland at Wembley.
Asked about being substituted, Kane told ITV: "It is part of the game, the manager felt that was the right decision so you just have to take it. It is what it is.
"It was a tough game - Scotland defended really well, made good blocks at the right times when we know no game is going to be easy it is a European Championship and Scotland are playing for their lives.
"We have got another big game in a few days against the Czechs, we want to finish sharp - it's a point, not what we wanted but it's one step closer to qualifying. One step at a time and we go again."
England added: “Fair result, fair play to Scotland they defended well.
“It was not our best performance, but it is another point closer to qualification and that is our ultimate goal. We just have to recover and look forward to next game in a few days."
