England fans burst with joy after semi-final win

On a night to remember in front of almost 60,000 fans, most of them delirious with joy, England reached the European Championship final for the first time.

The home side were on top throughout but struggled to break down the Denmark defence, until they were awarded a penalty in the 103rd-minute.

It was a tough way for Denmark to end their emotional ride from the fear and distress of Christian Eriksen’s opening game collapse to their first semi-final since their shock Euro 92 win.

England will return on Sunday, 55 years after lifting the World Cup there.
