X reacts as underwhelming England disappoint in Denmark draw

It proved a frustrating afternoon for England in their second Euro 2024 group stage match as they stumbled to a 1-1 draw with Denmark.

It was a testing first half for England despite the fact they took the lead. Harry Kane opened the scoring with a calm close-range finish, but their negative approach allowed Denmark back into the game and Morten Hjulmand’s rocket from distance levelled the score.

The second half wasn’t any more fruitful for the Three Lions, despite Gareth Southgate making a flurry of changes as the game drew to a close. In the end, they were slightly fortunate to come away with a point following a subpar display.

Here is how X users reacted to the events that unfolded in Frankfurt.

Similarly to England’s opener with Serbia, Southgate’s side didn’t make a particularly fast start against Denmark. However, yet again, they found themselves ahead before the 20-minute mark as Kane opened his Euro 2024 account.

Kyle Walker darted down the right flank and took advantage of some slack defending from Victor Kristiansen, firing a cross towards the penalty spot. After a few deflections, the ball fell to England’s skipper, who slotted his side in front.

However, England’s joy was short-lived. Having dropped into a familiarly deep shape, Southgate’s side invited enormous pressure on Jordan Pickford’s goal and Denmark took full advantage.

It was a special strike that levelled proceedings, with midfielder Hjulmand arrowing a venomous strike in off the inside of the post from 25 yards out. England could have no complaints.
