ENGLAND BEAT SLOVAKIA TO REACH LAST EIGHT OF EURO 2024 - AS IT HAPPENED

England survived a huge scare at Euro 2024 as they needed extra time to scrape past Slovakia in their last-16 tie.

Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane scored to become the Three Lions’ last-gasp heroes, but huge concerns remain after another disjointed display from Gareth Southgate’s side.

England were deservedly behind after another poor first-half performance saw Ivan Schranz put Slovakia ahead in the 25th minute.

Phil Foden had the ball in the net early in the second half but his close-range effort was ruled out for offside. Kane then missed a good chance with a header before Declan Rice hit the post, and it looked as though England were heading for a shock exit.

That was until Bellingham popped up with an overhead kick in the fourth minute of injury time to salvage extra time. Kane then pounced in the first minute to head England in front and seal England’s 2-1 win and set up a quarter-final tie against Switzerland on July 6.

This is how the drama unfolded…
