Three Lions march on with win over Switzerland
England have kept their hopes of Euro 2024 glory alive with yet another dramatic win in the knockouts.
The Three Lions had looked set to make an embarrassing last-16 exit from the tournament when facing Slovenia before Jude Bellingham’s last-ditch leveller and Harry Kane’s winner in extra-time.
Next up on Saturday were Switzerland, who took the lead in the second half via Breel Embolo.
Yet Bukayo Saka stepped up to fire in a superb equaliser before the quarter-final tie went to penalties. Jordan Pickford denied Manuel Akanji as Saka contributed to five perfect English penalties for the victory.
So who will England play next and how can you watch all the action?
