England sneaked into the last eight of Euro 2024 after beating Slovakia.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez’s reaction after England’s dramatic win over Slovakia has got fans talking.
On Sunday evening, Gareth Southgate’s men put the whole nation through all the emotions as England took on Slovakia in the last 16 of Euro 2024.
In the first half, the Three Lions were not at the races as Ivan Schranz scored in the 25th minute to give Slovakia a well-deserved lead.
England huffed and puffed in the second half but as the clock ticked past the 90th minute, it looked like they were heading out of the tournament.

Speaking after the match, Southgate said: “I had a funny feeling the game wasn’t dead and I know that sounds ridiculous. We were pushing and probing. Ultimately it is the one we have thrown in the box that got us the goal.”

On Bellingham, the England boss added: “With 15 minutes to go you wonder if he is out on his feet. Him and Harry Kane produce those moments and that is why you don’t makes changes when people are clamouring for more changes. We had enough attacking players on the pitch.”
