    What's the story

    England beat Denmark 2-1 in their semi-final clash at Wembley to reach the final of the UEFA Euro 2020.

    England have qualified for a maiden final at a major tournament for the first time since 1966.

    They have also reached their first-ever European Championships final.

    England sealed the deal at extra-time against Denmark.

    The Three Lions will now face Italy in the final.

    ENG vs DEN

    Match ends 1-1 in normal time

    Mikkel Damsgaard scored the opening goal in the match with a superb free-kick.

    The mid-fielder curled his effort over the wall and the ball had too much dip and power to breach Jordan Pickford's outstretched right arm.

    However, England responded after Simon Kjaer diverted the ball back to his own net.

    England had chances in the second half but Denmark held on.
