England are into the Euro 2020 final after a tense win over Denmark at Wembley.

Manchester United stars Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire played 120 minutes as the game went to extra time.

Both Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho were unused substitutes.

England won 2-1 after extra time, coming from a goal down. Harry Kane scored the winner from a rebound after his penalty was saved.

Maguire and Shaw play their part

Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw were impressive once again at both ends of the pitch.

England still have not conceded a goal from open play, with Denmark netting from a free-kick. Shaw gave it away after pulling an attacker back just outside the box.

Despite this, Shaw defended well and was an asset driving forward. He had 114 touches overall and made 47 of his 85 passes in the opposing half, while winning nine duels.

Maguire nearly scored with the game at 1-1, with his former Leicester teammate Kasper Schmeichel making a diving save from his header.

England will face Italy in the final at Wembley on Sunday at 8pm.

After the heartbreak of Gdansk, it would be amazing for Maguire, Shaw, and Rashford to end their seasons with a medal. And it would be the perfect high for Sancho to arrive at United with.
