England fans in London were left frustrated on Thursday after being held by Denmark to a 1-1 draw.

The Three Lions sprung to life in the 18th minute through a Harry Kane goal, sending fans gathered at Boxpark - a fan zone in West London - into a frenzy. But the Danes capitalised on England's sloppy play in the 34th minute thanks to a Morten Hjulmand stunner.

It was a second successive lacklustre performance from Gareth Southgate's men, who squandered the chance to become the first England team to win their two opening games at a Euro tournament.

“We've got such a good attacking team and we sit so deep, what is the problem going forward and attacking teams with the players we've got? It's frustrating, it's frustrating,” said Conor Bloomfield, a teacher from Surrey.

Both teams squandered chances, however, the narrowest miss coming from Foden, who rang a shot off the post in the second half in a far more lively performance from him on Thursday than in the Serbia game.

England take on Slovenia in their final group game on Tuesday, while the Danes take on Serbia on the same day, with all four teams still technically able to progress in the tournament depending on the results.
