Danes demoralise sorry Sven's men

Denmark 4 England 1

Sven-Goran Eriksson suffered his worst defeat as England coach in Copenhagen tonight as his sorry troops were routed by rampant Denmark.

After a tepid opening period, the hosts erupted into life at the hour mark, scoring three times in a devastating six-minute spell.

David James’ ludicrous charge out of his penalty area gifted Dennis Rommedahl the hosts’ opener.

Jon Dahl Tomasson and Michael Gravgaard wreaked more havoc before Soren Larsen ensured Wayne Rooney did not even have the honour of finishing the game’s final scorer, his injury-time effort cancelling out the Manchester United man’s tap-in.
