England Euro 2024 LIVE: Latest news and updates as Bellingham faces possible ban

Kane may have scored the clinching goal, the 65th of his England career, but he was full of praise for Bellingham’s strike.

The Real Madrid man had struggled to make an impact for much of Sunday evening at the Veltins Arena only to arrive on the scene to score with a stunning volley.

“It was an unbelievable goal and to do that in that moment speaks volumes to him as a guy and his mentality,” Kane said of the 21-year-old.

“That finish and that moment was special. That summed Jude’s season up. What he’s done at Madrid in his first season. We said in the bus afterwards that it couldn’t just be a tap-in at the back post, it had to be something special.

“That sums up who he is and what he’s done this year especially. What a finish and then it’s that relief, then you’re buzzing but you’ve still got another 30 minutes to play. I thought we handled that well.

“Knockout goals are some of the best feelings you will ever score in your career. They’re just so important. We know what it means to people watching back home and in the stadium. I remember watching major tournaments growing up and they’re special moments.

“Jude’s one and my one, they are ones you repeat, you watch back, you see fans reacting in the crowd, you see clips of the fans back in the pubs and the boxparks and all that.

“You’re proud to make people that happy. Of course they mean more if you go all the way and if you go on to win it they will become even more special.”

“We were proud of each other,” Kane told Lions’ Den as he spoke of the relief of getting over the line.

“We could have won that game 3-0 and done really well and come away happy. But sometimes you have to go through these moments and you look each other in the eye and go that extra bit.

“You dig yourself out of a hole and when you get through that it brings out that different energy, that different togetherness.

“Whatever scenario we have in the next game, it’s like ‘We’ve been here boys, we trust each other and we know we’ll do whatever it takes for each other’.”

England captain Harry Kane believes the manner of the late comeback win over Slovakia can bring the squad even closer together as they prepare for a Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.

Kane headed home in extra time to secure a 2-1 victory but only after Jude Bellingham’s sensational overhead kick had levelled the scores deep into stoppage time.

It was another disjointed display by Gareth Southgate’s side in Gelsenkirchen but they rallied at the death to make sure their Euro 2024 adventure continues into the last eight.

Southgate has a number of questions to answer ahead of the quarter-final, and will face an anxious wait over the fitness of Kieran Trippier, who was contending with injury in the build up to the game, and was taken off in the 66th minute after a heavy challenge.

England are yet to update on his condition.

After winning Group C in unconvincing fashion, the Euro 2020 runners-up were on the brink of a humiliating exit akin to Iceland eight years ago in what would almost certainly have been Gareth Southgate’s last match.

England looked set to fail in their bid to cancel out Ivan Schranz’s opener for wily Slovakia, with Phil Foden seeing a goal ruled out for offside by the VAR, Harry Kane wasting a great chance and Declan Rice hitting a post.

But Real Madrid star Bellingham scored a jaw-dropping leveller five minutes into stoppage time, with his overhead kick followed by a Kane header early in extra time as Southgate’s side won 2-1.

Here are some photos from England’s training session earlier:

A comfortable group stage saw Sven Goran Eriksson’s England side paired with Ecuador in the 2006 World Cup in Germany and a serene route to the quarter-finals looked on the cards. But England laboured against the South American side and were lucky not to be behind in the first half. But Beckham, as he so often did for his country, stepped up and made the difference, curling in a trademark free-kick from 30 yards. It set up a last-eight tie with Portugal, who won on penalties.

Jude Bellingham faces a possible ban at Euro 2024 after Uefa opened an investigation into a gesture he made while celebrating the spectacular overhead kick scored against Slovakia in their last-16 tie on Sunday.

In the aftermath of his goal, Bellingham was seen shouting “Who else?!” as he ran over to England fans after scoring. Video showed the Real Madrid forward then kiss his hand and grab his crotch in a gesture which appeared to be directed towards the side of the pitch.

With England heading towards a penalty shootout after a drab last-16 performance against Belgium at Italia 90, Platt scored one the most memorable goals in the country’s history. Paul Gascoigne chipped in a free-kick, the Aston Villa midfielder watched it over his shoulder and then hooked it into the far corner. It spawned a famous piece of commentary by John Motson, who screamed: “And England have done it, in the last minute of extra time”. Platt scored again as England beat Cameroon in the quarter-final before losing on penalties to Germany in the last four.

Jude Bellingham wrote himself into England folklore as his stunning injury-time equaliser kept his country’s Euro 2024 hopes alive.

But here are some other goals that were just as important.

England’s talismanic midfielder had already lit up the 1966 World Cup with his ‘belting the ball’ goal against Mexico in the group stage and he was at it again against Portugal in the semi-final. After scoring into an empty net to put his side 1-0 up before the break, Charlton grabbed a crucial second in the second half with a crisp finish from just inside the penalty area. It proved decisive as Eusebio’s penalty gave Portugal hope, but Sir Alf Ramsey’s men saw it out to reach the World Cup final on home soil.
