The Three Lions will face Netherlands in the semi-final of Euro 2024 on Wednesday after another comeback win.

It seemed like Breel Embolo had won it for Switzerland when he broke the deadlock with just 15 minutes left.

But Bukayo Saka’s excellent effort levelled to send the game to extra-time, but neither team managed to find a breakthrough as it went to a shootout.

Jordan Pickford, thanks to his research on his bottle, saved Manuel Akanji’s spot-kick before Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Saka, and Ivan Toney all converted.

That left Trent Alexander-Arnold to step up to win it, and the Liverpool star made no mistake in securing a 5-3 shootout win as Luke Shaw won plaudits for his reaction to the crucial kick.

Before the focus intensifies on the Dutch, England’s heroes had a rest and recovery at their base on Sunday.

And it showed Saka, who celebrated the shootout by raising his hands to the air, was still all smiles as he took part in the session in the pool.

But Foden could not resist performing a bit of ball work while swimming, and he showed how he is just as talented with his head as he is with his feet.

The Man City ace expertly headed a ball against a poolside window and even threw in one or two shoulders as he looked to be fully enjoying himself.

Along with a love heart emoji, one fan replied to the clip of him shared by the England Instagram account with: “My face when I saw Phil, this has made my day.”

While another declared: “Foden’s ball control is another level.”

As another joked that he “looked like a seal doing tricks” in there.

Bellingham was another pictured in the water as he appeared to be having his say on what tunes were being played ahead of the pool session.

Penalty hero Alexander-Arnold and Anthony Gordon were both spotted exercising in the gym, as was Conor Gallagher who was recorded lifting weights.

Several more stars appeared on the clip as the mood in camp looked to still be on cloud nine.

And the well-wishes flooded in on the comments as one reply read: “Well deserved. Rest, relax, re-focus. Let’s smash the semi final!”

Another said: “Well deserved boys, let’s get ready to go again.”

A third said: “Go on the boys, bring it home!!!!!!”

As a fourth added: “These lads are gonna make history!”
