EURO 2020: England fined 30,000 euros for use of laser pointer, booing Denmark anthem

Schmeichel was targeted by a spectator as England captain Harry Kane stepped up for a penalty in extra time to give the home side a 2-1 win in the semifinal.

The keeper saved Kane's initial effort but could not stop the rebound which sent Gareth Southgate's side into Sunday's final against Italy.
