Euro 2020: England charged by Uefa after 'laser' penalty incident
8 July 2021
European Championship
Uefa has charged England after a laser pointer was directed at Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel during Wednesday's Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.
Television pictures showed a green light on Schmeichel's face just before Harry Kane took an extra-time penalty.
Schmeichel saved the spot-kick but Kane scored the rebound as England won 2-1 to reach Sunday's final against Italy.
England are also charged with causing a "disturbance" during Denmark's national anthem and setting off fireworks.
"The case will be dealt with by the Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) in due course," said a statement from European football's governing body.
