Sterling in action

Threatened with his pace and drifting runs through the Danish defence throughout the game. Terrified with his neat skills and dribbles and had a part to play in both the goals. Forced Kjaer in making a last ditch slide which ended up in the net, and drew the foul for penalty for the second goal. Completed 10 dribbles in the match.

Harry Kane – 7.5/10

Harry Kane

Looked decent and kept the Danish defence on their toes. Set Saka on the run with a beautiful through ball for the first goal. Initially hit the penalty against Schmeichel but converted on the rebound.

Bukayo Saka – 7/10

Saka

Played a good part as long as he was on the pitch. Made runs down the right flank and his pace was a problem for Maehle. Incredible run behind the defence and a great ball at the far post which was eventually turned in by Kjaer for a own goal.

Denmark Player Ratings

Denmark

Kasper Schmeichel – 7/10

Schmeichel saves

Kept his team in the game with some deft saves and stood out firm. Blocked Sterling’s shot early on and made a some good saves from Kane and Maguire. Saved the penalty initially by diving the right way but would be devastated as to not move the ball away to a safe position as Kane converted in the rebound.

Simone Kjaer – 6.5/10

Kjaer unfortunately let’s in the own goal

Defended valiantly against a strong England forward line and a leader at the back. Unfortunate to let in the own goal while making a last ditch challenge to see out a dangerous ball at the far post.

Andreas Christensen – 6/10

Jannik Vestergaard – 6.5/10
