Denzel Dumfries was adjudged to have fouled Kane, who made no mistake from the spot as he converted to cancel out Xavi Simons' opener.
Ollie Watkins grabbed a late winner to secure a famous win for his side in Dortmund.
Pierre van Hooijdonk launched an extraordinary attack as he said the referee should be 'blacklisted' while Virgil van Dijk was left furious with the German official.

One X user wrote: "The Netherlands were 100% robbed! VAR even missed or didn't care about Saka's handball on both hands before the penalty situation. Lucky England should thank the refs."
A second tweeted: "Referee was caught match fixing. A ref. could never be this bad."
A third added: "VAR has robbed the Netherlands 100% here. How did VAR not notice this?"
A fourth argued: "Can’t really see a touch on his hand to be fair but the referee was dreadful and gave England every decision, a real stinker."

Another commented: "Never touched his hand... the ball kept spinning in the same pattern. Play it in slow motion... close but not handball."
