England v Denmark

  • Wednesday 7.45pm BST kick-off on Sky Sports
  • Match odds:

How quickly things can change in football. With half-time imminent at Wembley on Sunday, England were being totally dominated by Belgium in their Nations League encounter and lucky to be only 1-0 down. That luck was not only because the Belgians were wasteful, but because Yannick Carrasco had a perfectly good opener ruled offside.

Then came the turning point: Jordan Henderson was awarded the softest of penalties and Marcus Rashford tucked it away.

To England's, and Gareth Southgate's, credit they were much-improved after the break, largely nullifying the world's number one team - more importantly they found a way to compete with a side who dominated them twice at the 2018 World Cup.

Maybe they'd earned their next moment of fortunate then, as Mason Mount's shot took a wicked deflection off Toby Alderweireld to loop over the helpless Simon Mignolet and into the net.
