England beat Denmark in extra time

England booked their place in the final after beating Denmark in extra time to face Italy in the final on Sunday.

With the feat, the Three Lions have finally reached the final of a major international competition for the first time since their World Cup triumph in 1966.

A large majority of the 60,000 fans in attendance were stunned into silence when Mikel Damsgaard struck a superb free-kick from 25 yards out half an hour into the contest.

An own goal from Simon Kjaer, forced by Buyako Saka and Raheem Sterling, restored hope as an incredibly tense contest played out in the capital.

England’s moment came from the penalty spot when Joakim Maehle fouled Raheem Sterling. 

Harry Kane’s spot-kick was saved by Kasper Schmeichel but he buried the rebound to send Gareth Southgate’s side to the final.
