Watch again as football fans arrived at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf on Saturday (6 July) as England prepared to take on Switzerland in the quarter-final of Euro 20204.

The match marked Gareth Southgate’s 100th game as manager and saw England advance to the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after a gripping tie in Dusseldorf.

Gareth Southgate’s side squeezed past a defiant Slovakia team last week but were forced to dig deep here after Breel Embolo put the Swiss ahead.

But Bukayo Saka’s curler dragged the Three Lions level in a thrilling match as both sides pushed for a winner before settling for extra-time.

And England were perfect in the shootout as Trent Alexander-Arnold struck the decisive kick to book a semi-final next Wednesday in Dortmund.
