England have been held by Denmark and taken the game to extra-time as two first-half goals ensured the game went the full distance. Denmark opened the scoring with a wonderful 25-yard free-kick before an own goal from Simon Kjaer evened matters.
England were heavy favourites going into the game but a brave and resilient Denmark side were difficult to break down, creating their own chances in the process.
