Following Morten Hjulmand’s incredible goal that gave Denmark a 1-1 draw on Thursday, England were unable to secure their spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stages.
After a lackluster 1-0 victory over Serbia to start their tournament, England again flattered to deceive in Frankfurt, and a point was the least the Danes deserved.
England capitalised on a defensive blunder by Denmark to open the scoring for the Three Lions through Harry Kane.
Hjulmand’s rocket from outside the box levelled before half-time and Denmark were left to rue missing late chances to secure a famous victory.
England remain on top of Group C, two points clear of Slovenia, who they face in Cologne on Tuesday, and Denmark.
Serbia’s late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Slovenia earlier on Thursday also keeps their destiny in their own hands.
Gareth Southgate, the England manager, stated on Wednesday that he stays away from negative stories in the media during competitions.
But will be braced for more criticism after another flat display from one of the pre-tournament favourites.
Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel claimed on the eve of the game they would not be fuelled by revenge for their Euro 2020 semi-final heartbreak to England three years ago.
The Danish team, though, was a very different animal from the one that was disappointing in the 2022 World Cup and in their opening-round draw against Slovenia in Germany.
