Harry Kane’s extra-time goal gave England a 2-1 win over a shattered Denmark on Wednesday and took them through to the Euro 2020 final against Italy, their first major tournament final since the 1966 World Cup.
Kane scored the follow-up after Kasper Schmeichel had saved his controversial penalty in the 104th minute in front of almost 65,000 fans at Wembley.
Mikkel Damsgaard had given the Danes a 30th-minute lead with a terrific free-kick but an own goal from Simon Kjaer brought England level before half-time, and their knackered opponents gradually faded as a force.
England has now broken through its semifinal ceiling at major soccer tournaments and will play a title match for the first time in 55 years.
