Harry Kane opens his Euro 2024 account for Gareth Southgate’s team, yet they only manage a point against an impressive Danish team. Kane is subsequently substituted on a difficult afternoon for the Three Lions.
England struggled in their second encounter at Euro 2024, securing a point with a 1-1 draw against an impressive Denmark on Thursday night.
In the 18th minute, Harry Kane scored his first goal in the Euro 2024 tournament. However, Denmark responded with a long-range strike from Morten Hjulmand, resulting in an equaliser. The Danes rallied at the conclusion of the first half.
Phil Foden struck the post shortly after halftime, but Denmark could have secured the victory in the final minutes as England faltered. Ultimately, the score was level in Frankfurt.
Gareth Southgate’s team will meet Slovenia in their final Group C match on Tuesday night, and they are still in need of a victory to secure their progression to the knockout stages. Meanwhile, Denmark will face Serbia.
John Stones – six
The Man City defender’s performance was slightly more tense than on Sunday, but he largely maintained Rasmus Hojlund’s silence.
Marc Guehi – six
The Crystal Palace captain delivered another performance that was largely secure, with the exception of a costly turnover at the conclusion. However, he recovered well to prevent Alexander Bah from scoring.
Kieran Trippier – six
A performance that is typically effective, although England is lacking a quick, surging outlet down the left-hand side in a manner similar to Walker on the right. However, Trippier continues to serve as an adequate substitute for Luke Shaw in terms of his contributions.
Declan Rice – five
The midfielder’s afternoon was encapsulated by a misplaced pass to Guehi, which resulted in a corner kick. He consistently covered a significant amount of ground, as is his custom, and there is little alternative in his position. However, he occasionally conceded the ball at a low cost.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – five
The TAA midfield experiment has failed after two games. Early on, there were a few significant contributions, but there was little in the way of creativity. I would be surprised if he were to make his debut against Slovenia, given that he was hooked shortly after halftime.
Bukayo Saka – six
Arsenal’s winger demonstrated bursts, but they were more orderly and organised than the final product of the initial match. Additionally, it is noteworthy that he was replaced seventy minutes into the match.
– Jude Bellingham – six
England’s number 10 experienced an unusually unremarkable day in Frankfurt, despite his talismanic performance against Serbia. Despite the fact that Bellingham maintained its pursuit of the ball until the conclusion and effectively set up Watkins in the final minutes, the day was characterised by frustration.
Phil Foden – seven
A more lively performance than his anonymous opening encounter. In the opening minutes, the Premier League player of the season created a chance on his own with some impressive agility; however, his shot was skewed wide. Similarly, he danced through the Danish midfield just before halftime, but he shot weakly when he should have played in Kane. In the second half, he struck the post. A significant improvement.
Harry Kane – seven
Off the mark at Euro 2024 with a typically calm finish from the break of the ball in the box – goal No 64 for the Three Lions – but did give the ball away very cheaply in his own half, resulting in Denmark equalising seconds later. Apart from his goal, he once again encountered difficulty in gaining a foothold in the game. This was further exacerbated by the captain’s substitution with 20 minutes remaining.
