England boss Gareth Southgate to ITV Sport: "I’m so proud of the players. It's an incredible occasion to be a part of. The fans were incredible all night. We knew it wouldn’t be straightforward. The game in Rome was straightforward. We said to the players we have to show resilience and come back after setbacks and we did that."

On the penalty decision: "I honestly haven’t seen it again. I thought Raheem was a thorn in their side all night."

On Harry Kane's penalty: "There's nobody you’d rather have on it but he was up against a great goalkeeper. Thankfully it’s immaterial."

"I felt we’d get there but I knew we’d have a different sort of battle. Denmark are so underrated as a team and they caused us a lot of troubles.

"When you’ve waited as long as we have to get through a semi-final, the players - considering the limited international experience some of them have - have done an incredible job.

"The most pleasing thing is we've given the fans and nation a fantastic night and the journey carries on for another four days.

"We suffered in Moscow on a night like this and we've managed to put that right."

Will they celebrate? "They’ve had it, haven't they? There was mayhem on the pitch and I was part of it. We’ve got to enjoy the fact we're in the final but there's one more massive hurdle to conquer.

"Italy are a very good side. I've thought that the last couple of years. They are in outstanding form and have defensive warriors who have been through everything. It's a great game to look forward to.

"We’ve had three memorable games on the bounce. We said we want to create memories for our nation. The young ones think it’s always like this. I’ve just had to tell Saka and Bellingham it doesn’t really work like this.

"Finals are there to be won. We’ll regroup and prepare properly. We need to recover tonight, it's taken a lot physically and mentally. Italy have also had that – although they’ve had an extra day to recover."

Former England striker Ian Wright on ITV: "You have to say a bit fortunate with the way it come about. I have been dreaming about this day and now that it has come I can't quite believe it.

"Raheem Sterling today, he has attacked this tournament and he has done so well again today and I think he was the difference.

"I was three when England won the world cup, I was three, I remember it, it was a beautiful day. I want England to win something in my proper lifetime."

Daniel Johnson: I didn’t cry when my daughters were born. I cried tonight. Thank you England

Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Roy Keane on ITV: "The word we used before the game was courage. Gareth Southgate deserves all the credit, he’s done a brilliant job. England deserved it. The man of the match was probably Kasper Schmeichel which says a lot.

"It’s the rollercoaster of football, great highs, massive lows. Denmark put in a great effort but ran out of steam. Gareth has been building the last few years and they’ve got their rewards. The next game is always the toughest."

Everyone still buzzing?

It's going to take a few days to come down from this high.

Perks of the job mean I've got three days off.

And how I need it!

What a save this was.

I'm just seeing emotions. Well actually, I'm seeing relief. England came to this tournament and they knew they believed in house, and they're not going as if it's a shock. They know they feel that they need to be - and they are in this final. Harry Maguire now is coming over, he's singing Three Lions with the fans. Declan Rice as well. They know this team inside they'll be telling them we're going to get to this final and we've done it. We're in a final. Get in!

England captain Harry Kane: "Unbelievable - what a game though, credit to Denmark. We dug deep and we got there when it mattered. We reacted really well - we're in a final at home, what a feeling."

On his penalty: "I chose the side I was going to go, it wasn't the best executed penalty I've ever had sometimes you miss and it falls your way and thankfully it did today.

"We know it's going to be a very tough game against Italy we've had a great tournament so far. One more game to go at home and we can't wait."

Roy Keane to ITV: "I don’t think it’s a penalty. Very, very soft."

After the first-half Denmark sat off, their legs left them, the manager spotted it and England must have thought 'these have gone'.

Dubious penalty, I'm still not convinced, but who cares? We're in the final.

England boss Gareth Southgate says he is "so proud" and the team "showed resilience" to come back.

Full quotes to come.

England

England forward Raheem Sterling to ITV: "It was a top performance. We had to dig in deep. It was the first time we conceded but we responded well and showed good spirit.

"We knew it would be difficult. We stayed patient and we knew the legs and aggressiveness we have in the team we'd be okay.

"It's another step in the right direction. We have to focus on the weekend now. It's step-by-step. We know what football means to this country. The energy, the atmosphere...It was top.

"Now we have Italy. We will celebrate a little bit then focus on Italy."

On the penalty: "I went into the box and he stabbed his right leg out. As long as it goes into the back of the net, that's all that matters."

Yes, Ben. It was incredible how England saw the game out at the end.

Denmark were chasing shadows, they were like little Year 7s running after the Year 11s in the playground.

ITV

Chelsea women boss Emma Hayes: "Finding words to describe something the whole country will be in elation for is impossible.

"Gareth Southgate's staff and the boys have to take all the credit because they have brought us so much joy.

"The fans throughout the game, they kept going, they lifted the team when the players were slipping."
