England v Switzerland LIVE: Penalty shootout updates in Euro 2024 quarter-final

Rio Ferdinand says England can win Euro 2024 ‘playing ugly’

England were taken to extra-time in their Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland 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 gripping tie as both sides pushed for a winner before settling for extra-time.

The equaliser arrived after Gareth Southgate made three changes, sending on Cole Palmer, Eberechi Eze and Luke Shaw.

Xherdan Shaqiri hit the woodwork from a corner in extra-time with a stunning effort that left Jordan Pickford scrambling across his goal.

Jordan Pickford seems pretty relaxed. Yann Sommer is a good shootout goalkeeper. This is going to be tense, as it always is. Cole Palmer is taking the first one.
