Harry Kane continues his journey to conquer records in the “Three Lions” shirt with his first goal at Euro this year against the Danish team.

 

England’s number 1 striker in football history – Harry Kane has set a very memorable milestone after scoring a goal in the match against Denmark in Group C of Euro 2024 which took place last night (June 20) Vietnam time.

Accordingly, Harry Kane is only the third English player to score in four different major tournaments for the “Three Lions”, including the 2018 World Cup, Euro 2020, World Cup 2022 and Euro this year. The two names that have done this in the past are two former strikers Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen.

Besides, Kane is also close to Rooney’s second place in the list of England’s top scorers in the Euros. With his goal against Denmark, the captain of “Three Lions” currently has 5 goals, only 1 goal less than “Shrek Guy”.

Topping the list is former striker Alan Shearer with 7 goals, followed by Shearer, Rooney and Kane are Frank Lampard and Raheem Sterling with 3 goals each.

Immediately after Kane’s goal, Shearer commented that the tournament “has just begun” for the striker born in 1993. However, the former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United player probably did not think that since this goal, the England team would face so many difficulties.

Coach Gareth Southgate’s team proactively retreated deep, defending and counter-attacking very early, in fact they also prevented very dangerous attacks from Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund. However, the “Three Lions” could not have expected that midfielder Morten Hjulmand of Denmark would have such a crazy situation .

Taking advantage of England’s poor handling, Hjulmand launched a cannon shot from a distance of 28m at a speed of 114km/h, the ball hit the inside edge of the post and completely defeated Jordan Pickford.

In the remaining minutes of the match, England played quite deadlocked, the most dangerous opportunity they created came from Phil Foden’s shot that bounced off the post. Kane then also left the field in the 70th minute, ceding his position to Ollie Watkins.

1-1 is also the final score of this match, England still leads Group C with 4 points, while Denmark has 2 points after 2 matches at Euro this year.
