Euro 2020: Southgate's redemption for England, 25 years later

The Hindu  

At the end of a draining, absorbing Euro 2020 semifinal at Wembley, Gareth Southgate was the redemption story of the night. Blessed with probably the best attacking talents assembled in an England senior men’s squad for a major international tournament, the pressure was always on Southgate to deliver the promise of a first major final since 1966. In the first half, Kane and Sterling ran the show with England skipper dropping in between Denmark’s centre-backs and midfielders to pick up the ball and feeding Sterling and Bukayo Saka behind the defensive line. Denmark offered plenty of energy and threat on the counter, and breached England’s defence for the first time in the tournament through Mikel Damsgaard’s exquisite free-kick. Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand made the first move around the 60-minute mark by removing Kasper Dolberg and Damsgaard, two of Denmark’s exciting attackers, for more solidity in midfield.
