After all the agony endured by England fans during penalty shootouts in the past, this was one to savour.
After toiling against a very organised and in-form Switzerland side for over 70 minutes of football in Dusseldorf, things looked extremely dicey indeed for Gareth Southgate’s side when Breel Embolo put Murat Yakin’s side 1-0 up with a tap-in 15 minutes from time.
Despite England once again retreating back into their shells during extra time, they held off some late Swiss pressure to make it to penalties, with Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Saka, Ivan Toney, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all burying their spot-kicks to send England through to the semi-finals. A date with the Dutch now awaits on Wednesday. Here are our best pictures from the Preston fanzone for Saturday’s game.
