England’s Harry Kane scores their first goal 

 

 

England crushed Ukraine 4-0 in Rome on Saturday to set up a Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark, who continued their remarkable run by beating the Czech Republic in the last eight earlier.


Harry Kane scored twice for England at the Stadio Olimpico while Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson also found the net as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the semi-finals of a second consecutive major tournament.
Now they are a step closer to claiming a first major international title since the 1966 World Cup and, with the remaining games in the tournament being played at Wembley, they are favourites to claim the trophy. They are yet to concede a goal after five games at this European Championship. 


The Danes continued their remarkable run since the trauma of Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest in their opening defeat by Finland as they beat the Czech Republic 2-1. They are into the last four of a major tournament for the first time since winning the European Championship in 1992 after first-half goals from Thomas Delaney and Kasper Dolberg in Baku.
