England are through to the final of Euro 2020 after beating Denmark 2-1 after extra time.

It means the Three Lions are one historic win away from their first major silverware since 1966 after coming from behind to beat Denmark.

Home fans will now dare to dream as the prospect of winning Euro 2020 on home soil moved to within touching distance.

It was captain Harry Kane, under the watchful eyes of a jubilant Duke of Cambridge, David Beckham and Boris Johnson in the stands, who gave England the lead after bundling home the rebound when his penalty was saved in extra-time to send the Three Lions on the way to a final showdown with Italy on Sunday.

Earlier, forward Raheem Sterling pressured Danish captain Simon Kjaer into sending the ball into his own net, less than 10 minutes after the visitors took a shock lead through Mikkel Damsgaard’s thunderbolt free-kick.

There were 60,000 supporters inside Wembley for theEuro 2020semi-final showdown, including the president of the FA - The Duke of Cambridge.
