Bukayo Saka was virtually unplayable as England knocked Switzerland out of EURO 2024 on penalties.

Bukayo Saka was named Man of the Match as England held their nerves to defeat Switzerland on penalties in the EURO 2024 quarterfinals.

The Arsenal man ran the Swiss defence ragged and was on hand to draw the Three Lions level after Breel Embolo had put Switzerland in front.

This was Saka's first goal of the tournament, and the Arsenal man buried the ghosts of his EURO 2020 penalty miss against Italy by dispatching his spot-kick here.

Bukayo Saka bounces back to silence Switzerland

Speaking after the game, Saka credited his faith in God for helping him recover.

“It was special. Last time we had a penalty shootout at the Euros, we all know what happened.

“I have faith in God to come back from something like that. Today, I took the chance and I'm happy”.
