England vs. Denmark Euro semi-final (spoiler warning)

England's 55-year wait to reach a major final is over at last after victory against Denmark in the Euro 2020 last four, on a night of nerve-shredding tension then unconfined joy at Wembley.

Gareth Southgate's side were on a mission to travel one step further than any England side has done since the 1966 World Cup final win against West Germany and they finally achieved the long-cherished goal as they came from behind to beat Denmark after extra time.

In front of 66,000 fans and in a frenzied, thunderous atmosphere this newer Wembley has not experienced before, England battled their way out of adversity to secure a meeting with Italy in the Euro 2020 final at the same venue on Sunday (20:00 BST kick-off)

The ball was going in one way or another, he didn’t really make a mistake. The goal was caused by the attack.

One more to go. England's fans have waited long enough. Can't wait until Sunday. 😁

But unless he does something special in the final he’ll be remembered for a flop that never should have been rewarded.
