England prevailed in the ultimate snatch-and-grab performance, somehow clawing victory from the very jaws of defeat to edge Slovakia 2-1 and book their place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

Ivan Schranz's goal midway through the first half looked all-but certain to win it for Slovakia, but Jude Bellingham's sublime overhead kick from close range levelled the scores out of nowhere for England five minutes into second-half injury time.

The Three Lions' tails were well and truly up, and within seconds of the restart in extra time, they found themselves 2-1 up, with captain Harry Kane in the right place at the right time to nod home Ivan Toney's header.

A crestfallen Slovakia will head home early having stifled England's efforts for well over 90 minutes, but it's Gareth Southgate's side who, somehow, prevail into the last eight.

Switzerland await in Dusseldorf, and England will know that having got away with the ultimate late rescue operation here, they need to find several more gears if they're to avoid another quarter-final exit at the European Championship.

After the completion of the match, Real Madrid Star, Jude Bellingham was named the man of the match after his outstanding performance against Slovakia, according to UEFA.

The 21-year-old featured for 105 minutes, recorded 87% accurate passes, created one chance along with two shots on goal and a goal.
