Jude Bellingham scored a wonderful late equaliser to save England from almost certain defeat to Slovakia in the last 16 of Euro 2024 on Sunday and Harry Kane put Gareth Southgate's side in front with a header early in extra time.

Behind from the first half to an Ivan Schranz goal, the Three Lions later saw a Phil Foden effort ruled out, while Declan Rice hit the post and Harry Kane headed wide.

But with four of the six minutes of added time already played in Gelsenkirchen, it was left to Bellingham to rescue England from a humiliating exit in the round of 16.

After a long throw from the right was headed on, Bellingham found space to connect with an incredible overhead kick into the corner to level the scores and save Southgate's blushes following another abject 90 minutes from the Three Lions.

The Real Madrid midfielder produced many such moments for Los Blancos in a memorable debut season with the Spanish side and the 21-year-old kicked off England's Euro 2024 campaign with the only goal in a 1-0 win over Serbia in their opening match.

Now, he has saved England from the jaws of defeat as his timely intervention forced extra time in the last-16 clash.

And there was more to come soon after that as a Harry Kane header put England in front at the beginning of extra time.

A free-kick from the right was initially cleared but played back into the box and Kane was there to head home from close range to seal an unbelievable turnaround.

The England captain has faced criticism for his performances so far at Euro 2024, but this was his second goal in the tournament after also scoring in the 1-1 draw against Denmark in the Three Lions' second match.

England advanced to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after holding on for a 2-1 win and the Three Lions will face Switzerland next, with the Swiss victorious against Italy in a 2-0 win on Saturday.

Defender Marc Guehi will be suspended for that match, having picked up a booking in the first half.
