England charged by UEFA after laser penalty incident

UEFA has charged England after a laser pointer was directed at Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel during Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.

Television pictures showed a green light on Schmeichel's face just before Harry Kane took an extra-time penalty.

Schmeichel saved the spot-kick but Kane scored the rebound as England won 2-1 to reach final against Italy.

England are also charged with causing a disturbance during Denmark's national anthem and setting off fireworks.

Following the game the Danish FA representatives were asked if they wanted to make an official complaint, but said they did not wish to take the matter any further.

England will face Italy at 7am on Monday in the Euro 2020 final.
