After 95 minutes of chaos, not having a single shot on target, conceding a goal from the 25th minute, Gareth Southgate's team thought they would have to pack up and go home early, but Jude Bellingham shone right when his country needed it most.
A bicycle kick in the 90+5 minute saved England from a disaster against Slovenia in the round of 16 of EURO 2024 , sending the match into extra time, with a 1-1 draw.
And just 53 seconds later, captain Harry Kane headed the ball in to seal a dramatic comeback for the Three Lions. After beating Slovakia 2-1, England will meet Switzerland in the quarter-finals of EURO 2024.
Moments after saving England, Jude Bellingham is said to have shouted from pent-up frustration along with his teammates who had endured criticism from the public after a disappointing group stage: “ Who else? ”.
Jude Bellingham was the one who scored the opening goal for England at EURO 2024, helping the home team take all 3 points against Serbia but was quiet in the remaining 2 matches.
And against Slovakia, at the most dangerous moment for England, Jude Bellingham seemed destined to appear to play the hero. When asked by a reporter if that was the case, the 21-year-old star replied coldly: “ Who wrote the script for me? Me! ”.
But Jude Bellingham himself had to speak up to clarify the offensive celebration gesture that was said to be directed towards the Slovakian team.
“ It was just a joke with some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for Slovakia .”
Sharing the joy of scoring the equaliser, helping England escape defeat against Slovakia, to take the match into extra time, Bellingham said: “ The excitement was overwhelming. It was a combination of many things.
Playing for England is an exciting feeling but also a lot of pressure. The fans expect a lot from us, regardless of what has happened in recent tournaments and years ago.
You hear people say a lot of shit. It's nice when you can give back and give them a little bit back .”
