Five England players including Jude Bellingham risk semis suspension if team advances

England qualified for the quarter-finals of the Euro 2024 after pulling off a dramatic late comeback against Slovakia. 

Ivan Schranz gave Slovakia the lead early in the first half and the score remained 1-0 for almost the entire game with England finding it hard to break the Slovaks down.

It was another unimpressive display from Gareth Southgate’s side. However, an incredible acrobatic goal from Jude Bellingham in the 95th minute inspired a stunning comeback.

The game went to extra-time following the equaliser and straight into the first half of the extra time, Harry Kane headed England into the lead.

A long-distance effort from Eze bounced on to Ivan Toney who flicked the ball towards the goal with his head where Kane showed his striker instincts to pounce on the ball with a header into the back of the net.
