LONDON: While England exulted at reaching a first major final since 1966, there was increasing outcry abroad over the penalty awarded for a foul on Raheem Sterling in extra time to give them a 2-1 win over Denmark in their Euro 2020 semi-final.
The speedy and swerving Sterling, who has been accused of diving before in England's Premier League, went over in the box after minimal contact from Denmark's Joakim Maehle. "In a moment like that it's important the referee is absolutely convinced it was a penalty. It was not clear enough to say 'yes it is'. He should have at least had a look at the screen," he said on Qatari network beIN Sports.
Adding insult to injury, a fan shone a laser pen on Schmeichel as he prepared to face Kane's penalty.
I don’t want to laugh 😂
