England are through to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 after an emphatic 4-0 victory over Ukraine.

Harry Kane scored twice either side of half-time, while Harry Maguire and substitute Jordan notched in as the Three Lions booked their place at Wembley on Wednesday night.

Gareth Southgate’s side took an early lead after only four minutes, with Kane slotting home Raheem Sterling’s superb through ball.

The Yellow and Blues battled back but failed to find an equaliser, then allowing two second-half headers from the captain and Maguire within four minutes of each to end the contest.

Henderson sealed it with his first international goal from the bench, while Luke Shaw had a night to remember with two assists.

It’s a night to remember for England.
