The Dutch came from a goal down to beat Turkey.
England hit back from a goal down before beating Switzerland in a nail-biting penalty shootout to book a Euro 2024 semi-final spot.
Three years on from being denied the continental crown on spot-kicks, they had to fight their demons from 12 yards to continue their quest to go one better in Germany. But Pickford was the star as he saved Manuel Akanji’s penalty, with Trent Alexander-Arnold wrapping up a 5-3 triumph to spark bedlam in Dusseldorf and seal a semi-final spot.Despite being shifted into an unfamiliar role as right wing-back, Saka was England’s best player and his moment of individual brilliance, arrowing in from distance, rescued Southgate’s side.
He said on BBC One afterwards: “I have faith in God. To come back from something like that was really difficult. But I used it to make me stronger and I took the chance now so I’m happy.”The Netherlands struck twice in quick succession as they came from behind to book a showdown against England with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Turkey.
