Saka shakes off penalty nightmare to save England at Euro 2024

Bukayo Saka came to the rescue when England needed it most, then he showed up again to help the side edge the penalty shootout against Switzerland on Saturday night. 

When the Three Lions went behind to a Breel Embolo tap-in in the second half, the Arsenal winger wasted little time in finding an equaliser.

The 22-year-old whipped a beautiful shot from outside the box past Yann Sommer to level matters and send the Euro 2024 quarter-final tie to extra-time.

The contest inevitably went to penalties, in which Jordan Pickford denied Manuel Akanji to provide the platform for an England victory. All five takers converted from twelve yards out, including Saka, who reckons the win is among the best of his career.
