“I do the [penalty] practice like all the other lads and I have my process. I rely on the practice I do.

Thanks to a Chelsea legend
Jude Bellingham has given credit to Chelsea legend Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink for England’s penalty success.
Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, Bellingham said: “It’s not the way we want to win, we want to go out there and steamroll teams, but it’s unrealistic at this level.
“You have to earn it and you have to show character like that at the end.
“Five out of five penalties rarely happens at this level, so I’m really proud of my teammates and the staff – Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink who’s been really diligent in getting everyone to practise properly.
“It pays off in the end so we’re grateful to all of them.”
Man of the Match
Bukayo Saka has been awarded Man of the Match for his late equaliser and penalty shootout goal.
The Arsenal winger was superb in Dusseldorf and gave his all, playing in at least three different positions tonight.
Speaking after the game, Saka said: “Obviously for myself, I believe we have some of the best takers in the Premier League and the world, if it did come to penalties we would be confident – we showed that today.
“For me, it is something I embrace – you can fail once and you have a choice if you are going to put yourself in that position again, I believed in myself and when the ball hit the net I was a very happy man
“I am not going to be focused on the past, that is done, I can only focus on now. I know there were a lot of nervous people watching, my family included, but I kept my cool.
“There are two more games, we can change our lives and make history – we are going to watch the game and see who we are facing.”

“He does an amazing job with and without the ball.
“They’ve all had to go in there and they’re young players in extreme pressure situations.
“But we felt with the players we had on the pitch they were the best to take the penalties.”
