Harry Kane scored twice as a buoyant England cruised through to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 with a one-sided 4-0 win over Ukraine in Rome on Sunday morning (AEST).
Kane ended a worrying international scoring drought by netting in the 2-0 last-16 defeat of Germany and he put England ahead inside four minutes on a sweaty evening in the Italian capital.
Gareth Southgate’s side then put this quarter-final tie out of sight with two more goals early in the second half, one from Harry Maguire before Kane netted again.
Substitute Jordan Henderson got the fourth, and as Denmark lie in wait in the Wembley semi-final on Wednesday England will be confident of going on to reach a first ever European Championship final and then claiming a first major international title since 1966.
England fans were chuffed with what they witnessed in Rome. Former TV host Piers Morgan tweeted: “This is one of the most dominant performances I have ever seen from an England team. Just superb.”
