England will play Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after Jude Bellingham saved Gareth Southgate’s side with a dramatic overhead kick against Slovakia in the last-16.
England were heading for one of their worst ever defeats at a major international tournament as Slovakia led to Ivan Schranz’s goal midway through the first half.
Southgate’s job was on the line, but the manager’s lack of changes were vindicated as his biggest stars finally delivered to turn defeat into a priceless victory that keeps England’s hopes alive.
Bellingham’s stunning overhead kick in the 95th minute forced extra time, where captain Harry Kane put England in front. The Three Lions managed to hang on to reach the last-eight in Germany.
England have landed in the more favourable side of the Euro 2024 knockout draw, with Germany, France, Portugal, Spain and Belgium all in the other half.
When will England play next?
Wednesday July 10
Semi-final, match 50, Dortmund: England v Netherlands/Turkey (2000)
Who do England play next?
Having beaten Slovakia in the last-16, and Switzerland in the semi-finals after winning on penalties, the Three Lions now face the winner of the final quarter-final, either Netherlands or Turkey, in the semi-finals.
England are no longer on course to face France in the semi-finals. That’s after France finished second in Group D. Spain will face Les Bleus in the semi-finals and if England win their semi-final, they will face Les Bleus or La Roja in Berlin.
