Sports Mole provides in-depth analysis of England's 1-1 draw with Denmark at Euro 2024, including highlights, man of the match and the best statistics.

Morten Hjulmand cancelled out an opener from Harry Kane, as Denmark came from behind to draw 1-1 with England in Thursday's Euro 2024 fixture in Stuttgart.

Kane's first goal of the summer competition had sent England ahead in the 18th minute, but a stunner from Morten Hjulmand saw the points shared in the Group C contest.

The result has left Gareth Southgate's side top of the section, two points ahead of both second-placed Denmark and third-placed Slovenia.

England have not yet qualified for the last-16 stage of the European Championship, but they are in a very strong position ahead of their final match against Slovenia on Tuesday night.

Here, Sports Mole provides an in-depth analysis of the clash in Stuttgart, in addition to highlights, our man of the match and the best statistics.


HIGHLIGHTS

1st min: Half-chance for Denmark in the early exchanges, but Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg fires straight into the arms of England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after smart work from Rasmus Hojlund.

13th min: Phil Foden works his way into a shooting position inside the Denmark box, but he just lifts his effort over the crossbar.

18th min: England make the breakthrough in the 18th minute, with Kane sliding the ball into the bottom corner from close range after a mistake from Victor Kristiansen, who had allowed Walker to break into the Denmark box, and the defender's cross eventually came for Kane.

34th min: Denmark level the scores in the 34th minute of the contest, and it is a stunning hit from Morten Hjulmand, who finds the bottom corner with an effort off the inside of the post; Pickford dived towards the bottom corner but was unable to make contact.

44th min: Pickford has to keep out a powerful strike from Hojbjerg, with Denmark threatening to score a second in the closing stages of the first period.

45th min: Foden finds space outside the Denmark box late in the first period, but the attacker's effort was always rising over the crossbar.

HALF TIME: DENMARK 1-1 ENGLAND

51st min: Declan Rice tries his luck from outside the penalty box, but Kasper Schmeichel manages to make a comfortable save to keep the score level.

53rd min: Bukayo Saka heads into the side-netting after beating Schmeichel to a bouncing ball, with England having their second sight of the Denmark goal.

56th min: Foden hits one off the post for England after finding space outside the Denmark box; much better from the Manchester City attacker.

72nd min: Schmeichel is on hand to make a brilliant save to deny Ollie Watkins from close range, with the Aston Villa striker making an immediate impact.

73rd min: Pickford has to get down to keep out a strike from Hojbjerg, with both sides having their moments during a well-contested second period in Frankfurt.

84th min: Alexander Bah sees his cross deflected behind by Marc Guehi after taking the ball away from the Englishman, before Andreas Christensen heads the resulting corner over the crossbar.

85th min: Hojbjerg sees a brilliant strike drift just wide of the England goal.

FULL TIME: DENMARK 1-1 ENGLAND


MAN OF THE MATCH - PIERRE-EMILE HOJBJERG

Hojbjerg was the star of the show on Thursday evening, with the Tottenham midfielder putting in a brilliant performance in the middle of the Denmark midfield.

The 28-year-old had five shots in total, with at least two of those coming close to registering, while he made six tackles and ended with a pass completion rate of 89%, according to WhoScored.

There were certainly more glamorous players on the field, but Hojbjerg continued to go about his work impressively, and it was a standout performance from the midfielder.


STANDOUT MOMENT

This is not a difficult one.

Denmark's equaliser was a stunning hit from Morten Hjulmand, with the midfielder taking a touch out of his feet before drilling a sensational effort into the bottom corner.

England would not have been too concerned when he lined the ball up from that position, but the 24-year-old demonstrated why he is being tracked by a number of major clubs.

Sporting Lisbon will do well to keep hold of the central midfielder this summer.
