England left Ukraine no chance this Saturday in Rome. Harry Kane, author of a hat-trick, and his teammates blasted Sbirna (4-0) to qualify for the semi-finals of the Euro.

What a demonstration of the English! While they had been sluggish and without much inspiration in the group stage, they have become very sharp since the knockout matches. It shows in the game and translates to the scoreboard. After 3 games against Croatia (1-0), Scotland (0-0) and the Czech Republic, England had only two goals, very few chances and the only Sterling as a goalscorer.

This Saturday against Ukraine, Gareth Southgate’s men confirmed their good performance against Germany (2-0). Raheem Sterling is decisive early on, this time on the pass. City winger made a carnage in the Ukrainian defense before serving wonderfully Harry Kane who opened the scoring (4 th ). The captain of the Britons also offers doubled in the second half on a nice center Luke Shaw (3-0, 50 th ).

Four minutes earlier, the left rear of the Red Devils, untenable in his lane, had already allowed Harry to Maguirre of the goal 2-0 (46 th ). Finally, came into play, Hendersen, head, too, to receiving a corner of Mount Mason, ended any attempt at revolt of Ukrainians (4-0, 63 th ). Mass is, in fact, said. The English, far from their base for the first time in the Euro , are a hit. On Wednesday they will be in London again where they will host elusive Danes for a place in the final .
