England fans celebrated a remarkable momentous victory against a tough Denmark side on Wednesday night, beating them 2-1 , breaking an over five decade cycle of failing to get to the final of a major football tournament.
After captain Harry Kane scored the winning goal on the rebound after his extra-time penalty had been saved by a very competent Danish goal keeper, fans in Wembley became extremely excited as they began to get a glimpse of sporting success of football eventually coming home. Excited fans celebrated inside Wembley and serenaded the team with the Three Lions Football’s Coming Home anthem

Boris Johnson praised the performance of the team following the win. Speaking to journalists, while on a visit to energy company Bulb’s headquarters, the prime minister said: “I thought it was the most extraordinary game.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen an England team play with such creativity and flair and versatility and just keep going like that.
“The way Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane just kept their energy levels up throughout the 120 minutes or whatever it was.
“It was a total nail-biter.” He also wished the team the “very best” ahead on Sunday’s final against Italy.
In a tweet, Denmark’s national side wrote: “To you who have been to Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Baku and London.
“To you who have followed from all over the country. From the living rooms, the parties in the clubhouses, the big squares.
“To you who have supported us when we needed it.
“To you who will never forget the summer of ’21.
“Thanks.”
Nuisance Behaviour
The big win was slightly marred by nuisance behaviour from England fans, leading to three charges, one of which is the use of a laser pointer by a spectator after one appeared to be directed at Denmark’s goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel as he prepared to face Harry Kane’s penalty.
The other charges relate to fans disturbing the national anthems and lighting fireworks. British fans will be encouraged to behave much better for the final game on Sunday against Italy which will be its biggest game in over half a century, and not ruin what could be a special time in the history of British football.
The will for England to win its first tournament since England won the world cup in 1966 will be very high , though we will be up against a very good Italy side.
