Great Dane Schmeichel had a green laser beam shone on his face from the Wembley crowd but that didn't prevent the Leicester City stopper from making the initial save.

Mikkel Damsgaard had earlier put Denmark ahead with a thunderous free kick before an own goal by Simon Kjaer under pressure from Raheem Sterling levelled the match.

Now England have the chance to win the 2021 Euros at Wembley - the same setting of the 1966 World Cup win all those years ago - if they can break Italy's 33-game unbeaten run.

Roberto Mancini's Azzurri side have a long unbeaten record which began before the start of the 2021 Euros championship and have arguably been the team of the tournament, so far.

There is a good feeling around England at the moment, generated by performances on the pitch and the gradual relaxing of Covid lockdown rules, which has been evident at Wembley games.

Fans and players have joined together for a verse or two of Sweet Caroline and Three Lions - and that newfound bond will carry England to victory over Italy on Sunday.
