TWO England fans were left requiring medical treatment after celebrating the Three Lions’ opening goal against Denmark.
Harry Kane put Gareth Southgate’s side ahead at a time when they looked in complete control of the game.
But Morten Hjulmand’s long range equaliser ensured a share of the spoils from a game where England didn’t get going again.
However some England fans didn’t get to witness the full match as they were taken to hospital in an ambulance after wildly celebrating the opener.
Chad Thomas, a fan of non-league side Frickley Athletic, told SunSport that he had rolled his ankle celebrating the 18th minute strike.
And he tweeted a picture of himself from an ambulance with strapping around his ankle saying: “Goal injury celebration. 😂🥴”

But fortunately, the Three Lions superfan confirmed in a Facebook post that he had not suffered any serious injuries.
He wrote: “Good news, the X-ray came back all clear. Nothing is broken. Just €310 out of pocket.🤣(Yes I am covered) and high on painkillers now.
“I blame Harry Kane for that madness. And judging by the 2nd half on my phone. I didn’t miss anything inside the stadium.”
Another England fan meanwhile, did not appear to be so lucky.

The supporter tweeted a video of himself receiving treatment inside the stadium on what looked to be a severely swollen ankle.
It was captioned: “So you’ve broken your ankle on international duty.”
Claiming that he’d fallen off a chair while celebrating the goal, he then wrote: “Snapped every ligament in my ankle.”
England have yet to perform to their best ability during their matches with Serbia and the Danes.
But they still sit top of the group on four points going into the final game against Slovenia.
A draw would be enough for the Three Lions to be sure of qualification while a victory would ensure they finish top and likely mean they avoid a horror tie with Germany in the last 16.
England legends were nevertheless quick to lay into the performance.
Former captain Alan Shearer said: “You can see players lying on their back, they look absolutely shattered.
“There’s no excuse for that. No energy, no pace to the game.
“We didn’t run in behind until the last 10 or 15 minutes.
“We got caught too many times on the ball, too many sloppy passes.
“And in truth Denmark were the better team and deserved to win. There’s so much more to come. It’s really concerning.”
Meanwhile, Gary Lineker put Harry Kane’s performance under the microscope.
He said: “In all honesty, I think Harry Kane needs to do a lot better. I think his movement was minimal.
“He didn’t look to go behind and he doesn’t often. But even when he comes short, he’s just drifting short very, kind of, lethargically.
He’s plodding short. That’s not going to help.

“When you’re a striker, your two jobs are, obviously to score goals which he’s brilliant at. He has been all his career, wonderful at that sort of thing.
“But I think his manager to say ‘right, I need a little bit more from you Harry’. I would’ve expected that if I’d had that kind of performance.”
ENGLAND vs DENMARK RATINGS
ENGLAND stumbled to a drab 1-1 draw with Denmark.
Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated the Three Lions team.
Jordan Pickford: 6
Looked a little jittery early doors, though there was nothing he could do about Morten Hjulmand’s corker and he made a decent parry after the break.
Kyle Walker: 7
Made England’s opener by racing round a sleeping Victor Kristiansen – he’ll be having nightmares of that forevermore – and teeing up Kane via a deflected cross.
John Stones: 6
OK but you have got to wonder how fit he feels having barely played for Man City in the second half of the season, plus his injury and illness issues over the last month.
Marc Guehi: 8 and my star man
Really encouraging again from the Crystal Palace centre-back, looking sharp with his interceptions and assured in distribution.
Kieran Trippier: 6
Like Stones, he was fine, but England really need Luke Shaw back ASAP because having no natural left-footer at left-back is a problem.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: 5
This experiment of playing Trent in midfield is far from convincing, especially when his passing was off it like it was here, barring one good ball to Saka. Subbed on 54 minutes.
Declan Rice: 5
Had to cover so much ground as England dropped worryingly deep in the first half and also lost it a few times in front of his back four.
Bukayo Saka: 7
Not quite as electric as his first half against Serbia, but another solid showing from our right winger who has been our most consistent attacker across the two games.
Jude Bellingham: 6
Nowhere near the majestic display he put in against Serbia and one of many who looked tired.
Phil Foden: 7
Was far more involved than against Serbia – although that was not hard – and had a few dangerous efforts from range, including one that smacked the post after the break.
Harry Kane: 6
Netted his 64th goal for his country with an opener he could not really miss, but then gave the ball away from Denmark’s leveller. Surprisingly subbed.
SUBS:
Conor Gallagher (on for Trent, 54): 7
Vital clearance on the stretch when Christian Eriksen was lurking and was not afraid to put his foot in.
Ollie Watkins (on for Kane, 70): 6
Played in by Bellingham’s lovely ball after coming on but could not finish from an acute angle.
Jarrod Bowen (on for Foden, 69): 6
Copped a nasty tackle which saw Joakim Maehle booked.
Eberechi Eze (on for Saka, 69): 6
On for his tournament bow though he was rarely involved.
