It was at Wembley, 25 years ago, that Southgate had missed the deciding penalty against Germany to see his team crash out of the semi-final stage of Euro 96. But that history was rectified by his team on Wednesday as they held off a tough challenge from Denmark.

It was match that England dominated but the Danes never gave in. In fact it was the Danish team who took the lead, courtesy an unbelievable goal from a free-kick taken by the young Mikkel Damsgaard.

But England’s constant pressure helped them equalise through an own goal, which was netted by Denmark captain Simon Kjaer. The winner came in extra time as the referee pointed to the spot after Raheem Sterling was brought down inside the box. The decision was affirmed after VAR check.

Kane took the spot kick but it was saved by Kasper Schmeichel, only for the England captain to slot home the rebound.
