Kane and Bellingham Lead England to Thrilling Comeback Victory in Euro 2024 Clash with Slovakia

England's dramatic 2-1 victory over Slovakia in the Euro 2024 round of 16 showcased their resilience and ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. After Ivan Schranz put Slovakia ahead with a goal in the first half, it seemed like England might suffer another setback in major tournament knockout stages.

However, Jude Bellingham's stunning overhead kick in the 95th minute equalized for England, marking their first shot on target in the match and setting a new record for the latest ever goal scored in normal time at a major tournament. The momentum swung in England's favor, and just 50 seconds into extra time, Harry Kane capitalized on Ivan Toney's assist to score, making it the fastest ever goal scored in extra time at the UEFA European Championship.

The victory not only extends England's winning streak after conceding first in Euro competitions but also sets them up for a quarter-final clash against Switzerland in Dusseldorf. Manager Gareth Southgate's side will look to build on this dramatic win, knowing they must elevate their game further to avoid another heartbreak at the tournament's business end.
