Rice and Saka help England edge past Slovakia

Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka played all 120 minutes as England reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 with a dramatic win against Slovakia.

Our due started the game in Gelsenkirchen which saw the Three Lions trail for the majority of the 90 minutes after Ivan Schranz netted a shock opener on 25 minutes. Declan hit a post in the second half with a shot from range, as England looked to be exiting the tournament early.

But as the game entered the sixth minute of stoppage time, a superb overhead kick from Jude Bellingham sent the game to extra-time, and straight away Harry Kane headed England into the lead which they clung onto to set up a last-eight clash with Switzerland.
