Jude Bellingham rescued England from crashing out of Euro 2024 against Slovakia on Sunday with a stunning 95th-minute equaliser before Harry Kane's early extra-time winner sent the below-par pre-tournament favourites into the quarter-finals.
England were once again poor, looking lethargic and unable to create clear openings.
However, a moment of magic from Bellingham, who fired home with a bicycle kick, kept them alive before Kane's header set up a clash with Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday.
Here, Mail Sport takes you through all the statistics that matter after a dramatic game.

So, what was the secret behind the comeback?
Well, other than a piece of Bellingham brilliance, a long-awaited change of shape seemed to have an impact.
Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden got the nod out wide in England’s starting system but offered very little width; the average position map shows how narrow England’s front four were.
The introductions of Cole Palmer and Eberechi Eze helped to fix that, as did the switch to a 3-5-2 when Ivan Toney came off the bench in the 93rd minute.

Time for Toney? Ivan makes his mark
The Brentford striker proved to be a handful when he was brought on and provided the assist for Harry Kane’s winner.
Toney was arguably more of a handful for the Slovakia defence than Kane.
