Southampton defender Vestergaard slams England fans over Schmeichel laser

Southampton defender Jannick Vestergaard hit out at England fans after Denmark's Euro 2020 semifinal defeat at Wembley.

The Danes lost 2-1 thanks to a controversial penalty in extra-time.

And angering Vestergaard was a fan targeting Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with a laser light.

He later said, "There were several things that were not necessarily fair from the spectators, but when there is a lot at stake, then all means are clearly allowed. I did not see it at the penalty kick, but I noticed it in the first half and also saw that Pierre made the referee aware of it during the second half.

"Had they scored on some of their chances in open play, I think it would have been easier to swallow. Right now I am disappointed but also proud."
