'Denmark robbed blind!' - Kane equals England scoring record as penalty call sees Euro 2020 semi-final erupt in controversy

Harry Kane tied Gary Lineker's record for the most combined England goals at European Championships and World Cups, but his extra-time winner against Denmark came with huge controversy.

Raheem Sterling dashed through Denmark's defence in extra time of the Euro 2020 semi-final and went down in the box after what appeared to be minimal contact.

But the referee still pointed to the spot and although Kasper Schmeichel saved Kane's penalty, the England captain buried the rebound to send the Three Lions to the final with a 2-1 win.

Kane's record

The goal was Kane's fourth of Euro 2020 after he started the tournament with three straight scoreless games in the group stage.
