Jude Bellingham scored dramatic bicycle kick equalizer for England in 95th minute
England's Euro 2024 campaign was on the brink of elimination as they trailed Slovakia 1-0 in the last 16 knockout game. However, a dramatic turnaround saw them advance to the quarterfinals with a thrilling victory in extra time.
The first half of the match at Gelsenkirchen's Arena AufSchalke was dominated by Slovakia, who took a deserved lead through Ivan Schranz's goal. England struggled to keep up and fans were left disheartened by their team's performance.
But just when all hope seemed lost, Jude Bellingham stepped up with an incredible bicycle kick in the 95th minute to equalize for England. The crowd erupted in cheers as the Three Lions were given a new lease of life.
In extra time, Harry Kane scored the winning goal to complete a remarkable comeback and send England through to face Switzerland in the quarterfinals on July 6.
The victory was made possible by Bellingham's heroics, but it was not without controversy. Ivan Toney created space for Bellingham's goal, but some believed he may have been offside when the ball was played to him. The decision was ultimately left to the referee and stood.
England will need a much-improved performance against Switzerland if they are to progress further in the tournament. Their previous lackluster display against Slovakia has raised concerns among fans and pundits alike.

George Ramsay's article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. He focuses on the dramatic late goals by England to win against Slovakia, while downplaying Slovakia's dominance in the first half and their deserved lead. He also uses emotive language to describe Bellingham's goal as 'one of the best in our country's history', which is an opinion not based on facts. Furthermore, he describes Georgia as a 'heavy underdog' and Spain as a 'three-time European champion', implying that the outcome of their match was already determined, which is emotional manipulation.
