England earned a dramatic comeback win against Slovakia to progress into the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
Slovakia were on the verge of a shock win but a Jude Bellingham stoppage time equalizer and Harry Kane’s early extra-time goal sealed a 2-1 win for Gareth Southgate side.
England have now reached the quarter-finals in back-to-back European Championship tournaments.
Ivan Schranz gave Slovakia the lead in the 25th minute as he ran on to a pass from David Strelec before slotting past Jordan Pickford.
Five minutes into the second half Phil Foden thought he had drawn England level following a pass from Kieran Trippier but his effort was ruled out for offside.
But in the 95th minute Bellingham made it 1-1 with a bicycle kick off a flicked header from Marc Guehi from a long throw by Kyle Walker.
Then in the 91st minute of extra-time Kane our England 2-1 up with a header after substitute Ivan Toney headed the ball into his path.
The Three Lions will now take on Switzerland, who beat champions 2-0, in the quarter-finals.

England get out of jail.
Saved by the BELLingham.
Then a Kane header secures the quarter final ticket.
Game saving bicycle kicks will now officially be called BELLINGHAMS.
What a Bellingham we saw today!
Slovakia almost showed them the door out of the tournament. It’s up to them to explain how they lost a game in which they had a one goal lead in the 92nd minute!
As for England, they live to fight another day. The Swiss are waiting around the corner.
