PA MediaUEFA has charged England after a laser pointer was aimed at Denmark’s Kasper Schmeichel in Wednesday night’s Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.
The goalkeeper had a laser shone in his face before he saved Harry Kane’s extra-time penalty, although Kane scored the rebound to earn England a 2-1 victory.
England have also been charged with “disturbance caused by its supporters during the national anthem” after home fans booed the Denmark national anthem and the lighting of fireworks inside the stadium.
The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body.
