England face disciplinary probe over laser shone at Schmeichel

UEFA said it was also investigating England over fans’ lighting of fireworks and disrupting the Denmark national anthem.

European football’s governing body UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against England over a laser pen shone at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during the deciding moment of their Euro 2020 semi-final. Television footage showed Schmeichel was targeted by a spectator using a green laser as England captain Harry Kane stepped up for a penalty in extra time to give the home side a 2-1 win during Wednesday’s match at Wembley. The keeper saved Kane’s initial effort but could not stop the rebound which sent Gareth Southgate’s side into Sunday’s final against Italy.
