Gronks had a great game for the Danes, terrorising Ashley Cole throughout the first half. And Wayne Bridge didn't fare much better in the second period, before Gronks' substitution.

Jesper said "It was a major win for Denmark because we are a small country. But we know it was only a friendly and England are going to be one of the favourites next summer.

"Of course we would rather have won in the World Cup. But in a friendly there is not the same nerves involved and not so much is at stake.

"We have not got the same number of players as England do - there are probably between 25 and 60 players in England who could all make it into the squad."
