After 75 minutes without either side having many clear chances, Switzerland's Breel Embolo grabbed a goal.

England responded by making substitutes, and Bukayo Saka quickly scored an equaliser, taking both teams into extra time at 1-1.

After extra time failed to produce a winner, the match went to penalties, with England goalie Jordan Pickford saving Switzerland's first penalty - taken by Manchester City's Manuel Akanji.

Then England followed with five flawless penalties from Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold to take them to the semis.
