England and their long-suffering fans finally have the chance to add another trophy to the 1966 World Cup after they overcame Denmark 2-1 in extra-time on Wednesday (July 7) to reach the European Championship final for the first time.
Harry Kane's goal, following up after his penalty had been saved, finally saw off battling Denmark to set up a Sunday (July 11) showdown against Italy, also looking to shake off the '60s as they seek to win the title they last lifted in 1968.
On a night to remember in front of almost 60,000 roaring fans, England fell behind to Mikkel Damsgaard's superb free kick, equalised with an own goal, dominated the game and then won it via their captain, albeit somewhat unconvincingly, in the 104th minute.
It was a tough way for Denmark to end their emotional ride from the fear and distress of Christian Eriksen's opening game collapse to their first semi-final since their shock Euro 92 win, but their exhausted players left Wembley with socks rolled down but heads held high.
