The Three Lions of England have claimed a spot in the semi-final of the ongoing 2024 Euro competition.
England went through after securing victory from the spot kick over Switzerland.
Having drawn 1-1 with Switzerland in Dusseldorf, all five of England’s penalty-takers were successful as they claimed a 5-3 victory on spot-kicks.
Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold were all successful from the spot, with Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer not getting close to any of England’s efforts.
Jordan Pickford, on the other hand, saved Switzerland’s first penalty from Manuel Akanji to send England through to the last four of the Euros for the second tournament in a row.
