England Reach Euro 2020 Final After Penalty Shootout Win
Kane's Redemption Sends Three Lions Through
England have reached their first major men's final since 1966 after beating Denmark 2-1 in a penalty shootout in the semi-final of Euro 2020.
The match had finished 1-1 after extra time, with Harry Kane scoring the winning penalty after his initial spot-kick had been saved by Kasper Schmeichel. It was a moment of redemption for Kane, who had missed a penalty in the group stage against Scotland.
England will now face Italy in the final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. It will be the first time that England have played in a major final since the 1966 World Cup, when they beat West Germany 4-2.
The victory over Denmark was a hard-fought one, with England having to come from behind after Mikkel Damsgaard had given the Danes an early lead. Simon Kjaer's own goal drew England level, and the match remained deadlocked until the penalty shootout.
Kane's winning penalty sparked wild celebrations at Wembley, and the England players and fans will now be dreaming of winning the country's first major trophy since 1966.
