Wembley Stadium is to host the Euro 2020 final, which the Three Lions will hope they can secure a place at.

In order to do that, they will need to perform much like they did in their stunning 4-0 performance against Ukraine on Saturday night, as they face Denmark in their semi-final fixture.

Harry McGuire performed a flawless header less than two minutes into the second half, just as Ukraine were beginning to find their feet.

Kane’s second goal took the wind out of Ukraine’s sails, as they struggled to fight through the disappointment, as midfielder Luke Shaw confidently danced with the ball as he set up several opportunities for Kane, McGuire and finally, Henderson with another header in the 63rd minute.

At 90 minutes, just as Ukrainian manager Shevchenko was preparing to bow out by giving three young players a shot at a Euro’s cap, the whistle blew.

The referee decided there was no extra time for Ukraine to revive themselves, the team exited the tournament with a devastating 4-nil defeat.

England now face Denmark, who executed their own 4-0 thrashing against Wales in their group mixtures.
