England will return on Sunday, 55 years after lifting the World Cup there, but they did it the hard way. Schmeichel was on hand again with an excellent diving save to palm away a Harry Maguire header and England began to turn the screw. However, despite all the pressure and relentless passing and probing around the box, England struggled to carve out a clear opening and the match rolled into extra time. The extra 30 minutes became a virtual attack v defence exercise, as Schmeichel saved again from Kane and Jack Grealish. England then had to negotiate the last 15 minutes and managed it to spark the loudest, and surely most confident rendition of "Football's Coming Home", ever to ring around Wembley.
