Captain Harry Kane insists England must be on the right side of history after reaching the Euro 2020 final.
.
The skipper scored an extra-time winner following up after Kasper Schmeichel saved his penalty to beat Denmark 2-1 and set up a showdown with Italy at Wembley on Sunday.
.
The Three Lions had to come from behind after Mikkel Damsgaards free-kick opener was cancelled out by Simon Kjaers own goal.

Kane will be just the second man to lead England into a major tournament final after Bobby Moore lifted the World Cup in 1966 and the striker knows the job is not yet done

As the game gets closer Im sure the excitement and nerves will kick in. It will be a special day but there will be a winner and a loser and we have to make sure we are on that winning side.

He said: Its going to be an amazing occasion and Im extremely proud leading the boys out in any game, no matter making history and getting to our first final.
.
Its hard to sum up into words if Im totally honest. Ive said as a footballer, as a professional, its just about the next one, on to the next one, on to the next one.
.
We want it to be a special day for everyone. Its hard to take it all in at the moment but Im sure we will all enjoy it.
.
Of course theres always that feeling in the back of your mind that youve got one more to go, so we dont want to get too carried away. But Im obviously extremely proud to be the captain of this side.
.
Its really sometimes hard to take it all in. Sometimes, like nights like tonight, youve just got to be there with the fans and sing with the fans. We know we havent won nothing yet but we have to enjoy nights like these.

Kane gobbled up the rebound after his 104th-minute penalty awarded after Raheem Sterling went down under Joakim Maehles challenge was saved by Schmeichel to bag his fourth goal of the tournament and he admitted it was a poor spot-kick.
