England are into the final of Euro 2020 after beating Denmark 2-1 on Wednesday night, with Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips both in action.
The Three Lions fell behind to a Mikkel Damsgaard free kick, but a Simon Kjaer own goal and a Harry Kane strike sent England into the final against Italy.
Gareth Southgate’s men had to battle fo 120 minutes to win at Wembley Stadium, but are now potentially 90 minutes away from glory.
Southgate stuck with his usual 4-2-3-1 system, with Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips both keeping their places in the England midfield despite Jordan Henderson’s goal against Ukraine.
The pair did have some issues in the first half as Denmark caused problems, but they were generally solid and kept possession ticking over in midfield.
You would now have to assume that Rice and Phillips will both start the final on Sunday, with the pair combining well despite arguments from West Ham and Leeds fans in recent times.
Supporters on both sides would bicker over who is the best midfielder, but they are now forming a fine partnership in front of England’s defence.
England’s official Twitter account posted a photo of the pair celebrating Wednesday’s win, captioning it with ‘What can you say about these two?’
Rice responded with just three words, stating ‘that’s my brother’ about Phillips as they continue to shine together.
