England beat Denmark 2-1 to book their place in Sunday's Euro 2020 final, with the winning goal coming from the rebound of a penalty by Harry Kane.

Gazzetta dello Sport, though, have claimed that England were only given their 'very generous' spot-kick as a favour to Johnson - who was watching on in the stands at a raucous Wembley Stadium.
