ENGLAND made history last night with a thrilling extra-time victory over Denmark sending them into the Euros final.

But Gareth Southgate’s men, who face Italy in Sunday’s final, had to hit back from behind to finally see off the brave Danes.

Mikkel Damsgaard’s free-kick had the Three Lions on the rack before an own goal from Simon Kjaer levelled the semi-final before the break.

And then skipper Harry

Kane scored the winner in the

105th minute after he slammed in the rebound – from his own saved penalty, earned by Raheem Sterling, above.
