England's dramatic semi-final victory has descended into a row about laser pens - something Carlisle United are familiar with.

Controversy has surrounded the Three Lions' penalty which eventually saw Harry Kane score the winner against Denmark in the Euro 2020 showdown at Wembley.

England have now been charged by UEFA over claims fans shone a laser pen in the eyes of Danish keeper Kasper Schmeichel as he prepared to face Kane's extra-time spot-kick.

They have been charged under Article 16 (2)(d) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations.

Schmeichel saved Kane's penalty but the England skipper put away the rebound to send England through to Sunday's final against Italy.

Carlisle have also found themselves at the centre of debate over laser pens amid semi-final drama in the past.

Back in 2010 it was alleged that Blues fans shone laser pens in the eyes of Leeds players at Brunton Park.

It came during the penalty shoot-out of the northern final second leg of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

United went on to win the shoot-out 6-5 to go through to the Wembley final against a visiting side who also had a Danish keeper in Casper Ankergren.

The dramatic victory was also followed by a pitch invasion which led to criticism from Leeds' manager Simon Grayson and chairman Ken Bates, the latter describing Carlisle as a "small club" but United's then managing director John Nixon insisting the stewarding was "textbook".

England, meanwhile, have also been charged over the "disturbance" by fans during the Danish national anthem and the lighting of fireworks by fans.
