SAKA'S TON OF BOTTLE

Stunner saves England in Southgate's 100th game

- SIMON MULLOCK

So it's 100 not out for Gareth Southgate and if the England manager can get to 102, who the hell knows?

Somehow the Three Lions are through to the Euro semi-finals.

They still don't look like a team accomplished enough to be champions.

But for sheer bloody-mindedness and never-say-die attitude, England once again showed that they are not going home from this tournament without a fight.

A dramatic, nerve-shredding penalty shoot-out victory snatched from the jaws of defeat in Southgate's 100th game in charge means England will travel to Dortmund on Wednesday night somehow still in with the chance of going all the way to the Berlin final.

After Bukayo Saka had come to England's rescue with a stunning 80thminute equaliser to cancel out Breel Embolo's opener, up stepped Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold to score from the spot.

Jordan Pickford saved the first Swiss penalty from Manuel Akanji after spooking the defender with his mind games.
