    England fans were left frustrated as their side were held to a goalless draw against Ghana, but were Thomas Tuchel’s side fortunate not to have a penalty given against them?

    The incident in question happened late in Tuesday’s game as Prince Adu charged into the box before Ezri Konsa came across and appeared to bring down the midfielder.

    No spot-kick was given – to the relief of England supporters, with replays showing Konsa had caught Adu on the knee and made no contact with the ball.

    The BBC pundits watching the game were largely in agreement that Konsa and England were fortunate not to have been punished.

    “I think that’s a penalty,” former Three Lions and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney said on BBC One.

    “Konsa takes a huge risk. His feet are off the floor when he comes flying in and he gets the man, not the ball.

    “That could easily have been given in my view.”

    Fellow former England international and ex-Manchester City defender Micah Richards added: “England were chasing the game, they were trying to score the goal but you still need that protection behind you.

    “On another day, that could have been a penalty.”
