England player ratings v Slovakia: Mainoo 8, Bellingham 7, Kane 7, Walker 5

Real Madrid star's later stunner saves Three Lions before Harry Kane's extra-time winner secures 2-1 victory in last 16

• 

  Jordan Pickford 6/10

  ENGLAND RATINGS: Dived to his left after five minutes as a shot went wide of his post from the side ranked 45th in the world. He was soon punching the floor and picking only a second goal of the tournament out of his net, one he wasn’t at fault. A spectator for most of the game. EPAShow less

• 

  Kyle Walker 5/10

  Rare that he’s caught out, but he was three times including in Slovakia’s best early attack in a chaotic start. AFP

• 

  John Stones 6/10

  Clattered before half time in what should have been a yellow card challenge. Unaware of a short pass that almost led to a Slovakian second. PA

• 

  Marc Guehi 7/10

  Early yellow card, which means he'll miss quarter-final, then blocked a Slovakia attempt. Clunky and beaten in the air as Slovakia went ahead, but top header in build-up to Bellingham’s equaliser. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Kieran Trippier 6/10

  Right-foot shot went miles over after nine minutes. Excellent pass to Foden down the left. Thought he’d set Foden up for the equaliser five mins into second half. Went off injured after 65. AP

• 

  Declan Rice 7/10

  Better. Forceful, but accurate tackle, at a time when yellow cards were being dished out. Passed well to Bellingham, hit the post on 80. Getty Images

• 

  Kobbie Mainoo 8/10

  Stepped into the team and did little wrong. Started well and heavily involved, though another with an early yellow card for a late challenge. Volleyed over on 23. EPA

• 

  Bukayo Saka 7/10

  Bright start when he was England’s main threat. Moved to left-back when the injured Trippier went off. AP

• 

  Jude Bellingham 7/10

  More involved than in previous matches. Set up Trippier early on, but yet another with an early yellow from a referee letting little go. Tried to lift the crowd after England went behind. Dived and asked for a penalty on 70. By that time, he looked shattered. Yet he stayed on and with good reason for his overhead kick on 95 saved England. Beautiful technique. EPAShow less

  Phil Foden 6/10

  Went down after 22 amid called for a penalty. Wasn’t happening for him or his team. Getty Images

• 

  Harry Kane 7/10

  Unselfish pass to Trippier stretched Slovakia and led to England’s offside goal. Came alive after and headed a cross down and wide on 77. He’d normally score those. Got the second in the first minute of extra time with a close-range header – his 65th England goal. PAShow less

  Ivan Toney 7/10

Jude Bellingham produced a late wonder strike against Slovakia to force extra-time before Harry Kane grabbed a winner to save England from a last-16 exit from Euro 2024.

After their 2-1 win in Gelsenkirchen, the Three Lions will next face Switzerland in the quarter-finals in Dusseldorf on Saturday.

But Gareth Southgate's side will need a huge improvement in performance if they are to go deep into this tournament.

England, one of the pre-tournament favourites, were on the brink of going out before Real Madrid star Bellingham conjured a brilliant overhead kick in the 95th minute.

The goal cancelled out Ivan Schranz's 25th-minute opener for Slovakia and handed England the lifeline of extra-time.

It took just a minute of the additional period for Kane to head England into the lead after substitute Ivan Toney's clever headed knockdown into the six-yard box.

But England once again looked flat and lacking in creativity, as they did in the group phase, as they struggled to break down a side ranked 45th in the world.

Despite their obvious problems, Southgate left it until the 66th minute to make his first substitution, as Cole Palmer came on to replace the injured Kieran Tripper.

Eberechi Eze didn't appear until the 84th minute and Ivan Toney was brought on in the 94th before Conor Gallagher and Ezri Konsa joined the fray at half time in extra time.

But Southgate can thank two of his world-class stars for coming to his rescue when all looked lost.

After the match, Bellingham told ITV Sport: "I know what I can deliver in those moments. Regardless of what people say, I've done it this year for Madrid, I've done it for England before. Just happy to help the team."

Southgate said: "I had a funny feeling the game wasn't dead and I know that sounds ridiculous. We were pushing and probing.

"Ultimately it is the one we have thrown in the box that got us the goal."

On Bellingham's goal, he said: "With 15 minutes to go you wonder if he is out on his feet. Him and Harry Kane produce those moments and that is why you don't make changes when people are clamouring for more changes. We had enough attacking players on the pitch."

On the quarter-final against Switzerland being his 100th match in charge of England, he said: "That's neither here nor there. We haven't come to get to a quarter-final but to get through a night like tonight was fantastic character and we now play a Swiss team that have been very good. We have a couple of days to recover and get ready for them."
