England's Euro 2020 semi-final is so big manager Gareth Southgate admits he started thinking about it even before their last-eight tie against Ukraine was over.

Jordan Henderson's first international goal just over an hour into Saturday's quarter-final made it 4-0 to guarantee their progress and give Southgate an extra 30 minutes' thinking time.

"I've got to say I was already thinking about the next challenge before the end of the game," said the England boss, who is bidding to lead the country to their first European Championship final by beating Denmark on Wednesday.

The race for the Golden Boot may remain a sideshow to the main event with England tantalisingly close to winning a tournament on home soil but UEFA's statisticians appear to have forgotten one key player.

Raheem Sterling and Denmark's Kasper Dolberg have been highlighted as the main threats to Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrick Schick's five goals but Harry Kane, who also took his tally to three after a double against Ukraine, is missing off the list despite being the most likely of all of them to challenge the leading scorers.
