Euro 2020: Switzerland 3-1 Turkey full match reaction and quotes: Shaqiri 'pleased' with win after sealing third-place shot

The Liverpool midfielder bagged a double to help his nation nab a first Group A win, but they will be left to sweat on a potential last-16 berth

A Xherdan Shaqiri brace kept Switzerland's ambitions of a knockout stage appearance alive and kicking at Euro 2020, sealing a 3-1 win in Baku to condemn Turkey to a Group A exit.

The Liverpool midfielder's double helped ensure that Vladimir Petkovic's side finished their Group A campaign on a high note and keep themselves in contention for a last-16 berth.

Even though Switzerland will be forced to sweat on their tournament future until midweek, Shaqiri's efforts keep them very much in contention - and the veteran mainstay was quick to hail an improved performance all round from his team-mates in victory.
