Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham was the hero as England escaped from a shock defeat to Slovakia in their EURO 2024 round of 16 clash.

In a dramatic night in Gelsenkirchen, Real Madrid's teenage sensation Jude Bellingham became the hero for England as they narrowly escaped an upset against Slovakia in the EURO 2024 round of 16.

The 21-year-old, who celebrated his birthday just yesterday, wrote his name in the history books as the youngest player to ever score for England in a European Championship knockout match.

Bellingham the England hero

With the clock ticking down and England staring at a shock defeat, Bellingham produced a moment of magic, scoring a stunning overhead kick in the dying seconds to force the match into extra time.

Earlier, Ivan Schranz had given the Slovakians the lead in the first half, leaving Gareth Southgate's men chasing the game.

Declan Rice came close to equalising, hitting the post late on, but Bellingham had the final say with that stunning overhead kick.

As extra time commenced, the drama continued, with England's captain Harry Kane heading home to make it 2-1 to the Three Lions in the first half of the additional period.

Southgate will be relieved to have avoided a shock exit, but the performance will raise concerns ahead of the quarter-finals.
