Continuing their emphatic start to their Euro 2020 campaign, England beat Ukraine 4-0 in Rome to book their place in the last four.

In the process, the Three Lions became the first team in European Championship history to start their campaign with five consecutive clean sheets. Spain are the only other team to register five clean sheets in a single edition of the Euros (2012) but that wasn't achieved in their first five games.

After playing out a 1-1 draw against Italy in their tournament opener in Gdansk, La Furia Roja did not concede another goal en route to lifting their third Euro title.

England now meet high-flying 1992 champions Denmark for a place in the Euro 2020 final as Gareth Southgate's men eye their maiden European Championship triumph.

Continuing with the theme of clean sheets, England made it seven consecutive games in all competitions without scoring a goal for the first time in their history following their 4-0 quarter-final win over Ukraine.

Prior to their Euro 2020 campaign, England had eked out solitary-goal wins against Austria and Romania in Middlesbrough.

Defensive solidity has been England's trademark under Gareth Southgate, a trend the Three Lions would like to continue when they take on Denmark at the Wembley on Wednesday.


#4 Jordan Henderson scores for the first time in his 62nd England appearance, breaks record for most games before scoring first goal for the Three Lions

The Liverpool midfielder scored England's fourth of the night against Ukraine in Rome to help his team qualify for the Euro 2020 semi-final. In the process, Henderson broke Sol Campbell's record of most games played before scoring their first Three Lions goal.
