England defeated Ukraine in Rome to book a place in the Euro 2020 semi-finals against Denmark at Wembley Stadium.
Two goals from Harry Kane and one each from Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson send England to the sem-finals at EURO 2020. Gareth Southgate’s team will play Denmark at Wembley, with Italy or Spain on the other side of the draw.
They are now one step closer to winning their first major international championship since the 1966 World Cup, and they are favorites to win the tournament with the remaining matches being played at Wembley.
Even though Kane appeared off the pace and out of sorts in group games against Croatia, Scotland, and the Czech Republic, England boss Southgate never doubted in his conviction that captain Kane will have a big influence at Euro 2020.

Southgate’s faith was rewarded when Kane got off the mark with England’s crucial second in the 2-0 win over Germany. It was the catalyst for the real Kane to come alive in the tournament – and he punished Ukraine in trademark style.

Kane pounced for his first, rose to power in a second for his 47th England goal, and almost completed a hat-trick in spectacular fashion with a left-foot volley that was turned on to the post by Ukraine keeper Georgi Bushchan.
He was a constant threat, his link with Sterling increasingly impressive, and has timed his return to peak form perfectly as England now stands only 90 minutes away from their first major final since they won the World Cup in 1966.

Now, following a recent spike in coronavirus infections, England will return to Wembley for the semi-final against Denmark on Wednesday, with a crowd of roughly 60,000 expected.
However, Italy and Spain will face off in Tuesday’s first semi-final at Wembley. Italy beat Belgium 2-1 in their quarter-final on Friday to extend their national-record unbeaten run to 32 matches.
