England reach Euro 2020 final after extra-time win over Denmark

Gareth Southgate's side will face Italy in Sunday's showpiece at Wembley after a thrilling semi-final

A huge roar erupted around Wembley Stadium as the final whistle blew, confirming England's place in the final of Euro 2020 after a hard-fought extra-time win over Denmark.

The Three Lions had to come from behind to secure their place in Sunday's showpiece, after Mikkel Damsgaard fired Denmark into an early lead with a stunning free-kick.

But Simon Kjaer's own goal just before the break gave England a lifeline, and they eventually found a winner through Harry Kane in extra-time after his initial penalty was saved.

It is the first time that England have reached a major men's final since the 1966 World Cup, and they will now face Italy at Wembley on Sunday.

England's victory was a triumph of character and resilience. They showed great spirit to come from behind and win in extra-time, and they will now be full of confidence going into the final.

The victory was also a special moment for Gareth Southgate, who has transformed England into one of the best teams in the world. The manager has been praised for his leadership and his ability to get the best out of his players, and he will now be looking to lead England to their first major trophy since 1966.
