Share

England has proven how serious they are to win the Euro 2020 trophy. They are the only team in the tournament to go this far without conceding a goal. It is their first major tournament semi-finals since 1966 as they thrashed Ukraine in Rome 4-0 to reach the Euro 2020 semi-finals.

Harry Kane Scores Two as England Thrashed Ukraine 4-0

England took the lead from the first four minutes of the game. Tottenham and the Three Lions skipper Harry Kane opened the scoring for his side. Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire doubled the lead from Luke Shaw’s cross to give his side 2-0 in the opening first minute of the second half.

The goals kept coming as Kane scored his brace in the 5oth minute of the game before substitute Jordan Henderson scored his first-ever England goal to make the scores 4-0. Jordan Pickford made a smart save from Roman Yaremchuk on his way to a fifth successive clean sheet at the tournament.

The victory is a very significant one for the English men as it is their first European Championship semi-final for 25 years. They will now play Denmark on Wednesday for the semi-finals with the hope to qualify for the finals, which will be played at Wembley on the 11th of July. The other semi-final is between Spain and Italy at Wembley on Tuesday (20:00 BST).
