England have secured a place in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals thanks to a sublime overhead kick equalizer from Jude Bellingham in the final minutes of the match, with Harry Kane netting a winner seconds into extra-time.
Gareth Southgate's side were heading for an early exit and a deep inquest after a lacklustre performance that saw them go behind after 25 minutes and not register a single shot on target until 95 minutes.
However, Bellingham's acrobatic effort with seconds remaining gave England a precious lifeline, and their second shot on target came seconds into extra-time when substitute Eberechi Eze's attempt found fellow replacement Ivan Toney, whose looped effort fell to Kane.
England will face Switzerland in the quarterfinal next Saturday.
