England

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany, June 30 (Reuters) - England came back from the brink of elimination to secure a 2-1 win over Slovakia in their Euro 2024 round-of-16 clash on Sunday after a last-gasp bicycle kick by Jude Bellingham took the match to extra time, with Harry Kane heading the winner.

England were unable to get a foothold against a Slovakia team who were aggressive from the start and pressed their opponents relentlessly, taking the lead with an Ivan Schranz strike from a counter attack in the 25th minute.

A long-range Denmark goal vs England is the new candidate for goal of Euro 2024 as the Danes earned a 1-1 draw against a disappointing Three Lions side on Thursday.

Morten Hjulmand put his name up in lights after a careless giveaway from Harry Kane led to the 24-year-old defensive midfielder ripping a shot from distance. What a goal.
