Domino's delivery man came into customer's house to watch Harry Kane's penalty vs France

A Domino's delivery driver asked if he could come in to a customer's house to watch Harry Kane's all-important penalty against France.

After smashing in a first spot-kick past his Spurs colleague Hugo Lloris early in the second half, Kane was offered the chance to level matters for the second time when a VAR review eventually ruled that Theo Hernandez had clumsily fouled Mason Mount.

The whole of the country was watching and praying in hope and that included one chap who was working a shift for Domino's that night.

A video has gone viral showing what appears to be a Pizza delivery man with his eyes fixed on the television.

It was posted by @caleb1upp with the caption, "Kane's second penalty and the domino's delivery man asked to come in and watch it".

When the England skipper uncharastically blasted his effort over the bar, the delivery driver put his hat back on and said, "That is s***!" before walking off with his pizza boxes.

The clip has accrued 1.4 million views on TikTok, as well as 146,000 likes and counting.

In the comments, fans hailed Caleb for letting the chap come in to watch the penalty given he was missing the crunch clash.

One user said: "Nah respect for letting him in though."

Another said: "Hope dominos [sic] don't fire him for this, used to work for them and they can be funny about this stuff."

A third opined: "Best thing to come out of the world cup."

A fourth added: "Faith in humanity restored."

Kane also spurned the chance to become England's record goalscorer ahead of Wayne Rooney, having equalled the Three Lions legend's tally with his earlier effort.

He accepted responsibility for the miss, which he claims had nothing to do with the fact it was a second penalty.

“I’m someone who prepares to take one or two penalties in the same game,” he told ITV.

"So I can’t blame my preparation. I felt as confident in the second as in the first, but it was 100% the execution. It’s my fault. Obviously it hurts now and it will hurt for a while, but it’s part of being the captain and leader of the team. You have to take responsibility and I take it today.”

Olivier Giroud's winner means holders France will take on tournament underdogs Morocco in the semi-final on Wednesday.
