Lacklustre England held by Denmark at Euro 2024

A point was the least the Danes deserved as England again flattered to deceive in Frankfurt after an underwhelming 1-0 win over Serbia to open their tournament. Harry Kane had given the Three Lions an early lead as England pounced on a Danish defensive error. 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 also keeps their destiny in their own hands. England boss Gareth Southgate said on Wednesday that he avoids media coverage during tournaments to escape negative stories.
