England will face Italy in the UEFA Euro 2020 final after Harry Kane's extra-time finish eliminated the impressive Denmark.

The England captain scored from a rebound after Kasper Schmeichel saved his extra-time penalty to take England past Denmark and into the final of UEFA Euro 2020.

 

Mikkel Damsgaard had given Denmark the lead with a stunning free-kick after 30 minutes, but England got back on terms before half-time, Simon Kjær turning a Bukayo Saka cross into his own net under pressure from Raheem Sterling.

Italy and England will now meet at Wembley on Sunday in what promises to be a top clash of two countries with very contrasting versions on the international scene. 

The last time England reached a major final was in 1966 and that's the only time they landed a trophy. 

Italy on the other have five World Cups in their bag.

The teams have faced each other 27 times, the Azzurri winning 11 to England's eight, with eight draws.

Italy have never lost to England at a major finals, with 2-1 FIFA World Cup victories in 1990 (third-place play-off) and 2014 (group stage) on top of two Euro triumphs in 1980 and 2012.
