England reaches first major final since 1966 after tense Euro 2020 victory over Denmark
England reached its first men's major tournament final since winning the World Cup in 1966 after beating Denmark 2-1 at Euro 2020 in a gripping encounter on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium, CNN Sport reported.
Gareth Southgate's team had to come from behind to win and, as the match went into extra-time, a contentious penalty decided the match.
Raheem Sterling went down in the box under pressure from a melee of Denmark players and, after referee Danny Makkelie awarded the penalty, the decision was confirmed by VAR.
Simon Kjaer's own goal had canceled out Mikkel Damsgaard's wonderful free-kick in the first half in a game that saw Denmark produce another gutsy performance that has typified their tournament, following Christian Eriksen's collapse in the team's opening match.
England will now face Italy in the final after the Azzurri beat Spain on penalties Tuesday.
