Bellingham comes to the rescue with that moment of magic that every England team has needed. Now the Euros have started for England.
England have scored a late 1-1 equaliser against Slovakia in the last-16 clash of the Euros 2024. As the game goes into extra time.
And then 52 seconds in extra time England have take the lead. The captain Harry Kane comes up with the goods with a headed winner to lead England into the next round.
Can you believe it? Extra Time as Bellingham comes to the rescue
Jude Bellingham to the rescue and what a goal, an overhead delight, no wonder he plays for Real Madrid.
With seconds to go, Bellingham produces an acrobatic finish after Marc Guehi’s flick-on from a corner.
Extra Time England vs Slovakia
The two sides are meeting in Gelsenkirchen with a quarter-final place against Switzerland at stake. And that equalizer by Bellingham might be the moment of magic in the tournament that England needed.
That moment of magic in the tournament
And it seems like it was just that moment. Kane is back scoring a typical Kane winner, and now the team is playing with more control after knocking the wind our out of a resilient Slovakia.
In the 25th minute, a long ball forward was not dealt with by the England defence and David Strelec slipped in Ivan Schranz to score his third goal of the finals.
England have had that moment of magic in the tournament but apart from that they have been incredibly poor so far. If they want to progress they will have to do better.
Slovakia had a great chance to equalise in the 105th minute of extra time and this was by no way a convincing performance.
England enjoyed a spell of possession towards the end of the half but never looked like drawing level as Gareth Southgate’s side were once again jeered off at the interval.
Southgate resisted calls to switch up the starting line up with 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo being the only alteration to the team.
If England doesn’t drop Foden for the next game and use the width from the start they will lose against an excellent Swiss team that destroyed Italy yesterday
