The talking points from England's win over Denmark

:Headline: The talking points from England's win over Denmark:
The Three Lions will face Italy in the final on Sunday.

Harry Kane's extra-time goal saw England win a tense Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark on Wednesday night.

The Three Lions now face Italy in Sunday's final, looking to etch their names in history.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the things that stood out on a famous Wembley night.

Final-ly

The England boss would have been preparing his team in the dressing room as his name was chanted by the majority of fans inside a raucous Wembley. Southgate has succeeded where many of his predecessors slipped up, getting the nation on side and supporting his players. He will now be the first man since Sir Alf Ramsey to lead England out into a major final, it just remains to be seen if he dusts off his waistcoat for the occasion.

A Diamond football anthem

Singer-songwriter Neil Diamond would not have expected to be along for the ride this summer but his tune 'Sweet Caroline' has been adopted by the England faithful. The 80-year-old's most famous song has been played following England's victories and even made it onto the pre-match playlist ahead of the semi-final. The country will be hoping for another blast come 10pm on Sunday evening.

Pick that one out

Jordan Pickford became an England record-breaker despite conceding his first goal of the tournament to a fine Mikkel Damsgaard free-kick. The Everton goalkeeper surpassed Gordon Banks' long-standing record for the amount of time without conceding – but he ran it fine. When the clock ticked onto 25 minutes it marked 721 minutes since he had previously been beaten to break the record, only to see Damsgaard fire past him five minutes later.
