England manager Gareth Southgate hailed his team’s approach as they thrashed Ukraine 4-0 in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals last night.

Two goals from skipper Harry Kane plus headers from Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson booked the Three Lions a semi-final against Denmark – who continued their own fairytale run with a 2-1 over the Czech Republic – at Wembley on Wednesday night.

And Southgate praised his players for being ruthless and grabbing their opportunity rather than just letting fate take its course.
