England rescued a early exit from Euro 2024 as Jude Bellingham scored on the 95th minute to take the game to extra time. Harry Kane then wins it to take The Three Lions to the Quarter Finals next Saturday to take on Switzerland.
The Three Lions nearly had another early exit in the last 16 since Iceland at Euro 2016 as Slovakia defended the 1-0 lead they had since the 25th minute of the game when Ivan Schranz scored past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Early in the second half, England could of been level when Phil Foden’s goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR Check. That kept the score 1-0 to Slovakia following the disallowed goal.
It was Jude Bellingham who came 21 yesterday, made the brilliance by going into the penalty area to send Guehi’s headed flick past Martin Dubravka with a incredible overhead kick.
Extra Time happened and early on Harry Kane took the lead for England a minute into the first half of extra time when he headed home from close range to complete a comeback and set up a quarter-final clash with Switzerland on Saturday 6th July at 5pm.
England were poor throughout the first half but looked better in the second half with Harry Kane missing an header and Declan Rice struck the post as they searched for the equaliser before Jude Bellingham’s overhead kick rescued England and now are going to the Quarter Final stages.

A comeback for England but it would of been embarrassing if we actually lost the game and in my opinion we should of won in normal time, I think we should of won the game as we played better in the second half and had 3 good chances before Bellingham’s goal. Foden was close to being onside to make it 1-1 and Declan Rice hit the post that kept the scoreline 1-0 to Slovakia. In the end we won after extra-time 2-1 and we go again and still in the competition for Saturday.
