Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eriksen powered his spot kick past Jordan Pickford in the 35th minute, a couple of minutes after England centre back Harry Maguire had received a red card for a second booking.The closest an unfamiliar-looking England side came to an equaliser after the break was when Mason Mount's close-range header was superbly clawed away Kasper Schmeichel.

Harry Kane also had a late chance as the hosts pressed for an equaliser but defeat for Gareth Southgate's England, who beat top-ranked Belgium at Wembley on Sunday, ended a nine-match streak of home wins spanning two years. England slipped to third place in Group A2 which is now headed by Belgium with Denmark above England on goal difference.
