Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane strike to keep the Three Lions tournament alive in Euro 2024, England 2-1 Slovakia (AET).

Jude Bellingham's incredible goal in the dying seconds saved England from an ignominious departure from Euro 2024, as they defeated Slovakia 2-1 in extra time.

However, Bellingham once more demonstrated his enchanted abilities to tie the score with England's first on target attempt in the 95th minute.

After a long throw-in, he produced an incredible bicycle kick that beat Martin Dubravka to negate Ivan Schranz's first-half goal and force extra time.

Just moments before, it was nearly impossible, but Harry Kane made a move fifty seconds into the extra thirty minutes to nod in Ivan Toney's flick and give England the victory. This sets up a quarter-final matchup with Switzerland next Saturday, kickoff at 5 p.m.

On what appeared to be another of England's worst nights, as they were outplayed for extended periods of time by the 45th-ranked team in the world, the accusations were already flying.

Despite this, Southgate didn't seem eager to make any changes on the field; his only substitution prior to the 82nd minute was Cole Palmer, who replaced Kieran Trippier following the latter's injury.

Schranz had already given Slovakia the lead in the first half of the match with his third goal of the competition. The Slavia Prague winger beat Jordan Pickford one-on-one after being let to advance past Marc Guehi from midfield and meet David Strelec's ball into the area.

Pickford could only watch in agony as an audacious effort drifted past his unguarded far post as Bellingham's bad ball on the half-way line was intercepted by Strelec, and England continued sleepwalking towards the exit door.

Although England possessed some of the best attacking players in the world going into the competition, they once again appeared helpless up front until the very end.

Soon after the break, Phil Foden appeared to have equalized when he tapped in Trippier's low cross, but a quick VAR review quickly put an end to the celebrations as it revealed Foden was well offside.

Declan Rice was unfortunate to hit only the base of the post with a stunning 25-yard drive, while Kane wasted a rare clear-cut opportunity when he glanced Foden's free-kick past the near post.

Rather, with only seconds left, Bellingham had to salvage something, and in extra time, Kane proved to be a worthy captain, giving England - and Southgate - a six-day reprieve.
