Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez were unused substitutes as England beat Slovakia 2-1 after extra-time to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

The Liverpool duo remained on the bench throughout Sunday’s Round-of-16 tie in Gelsenkirchen, which saw the Three Lions come from behind to snatch victory in dramatic fashion.

Ivan Schranz’s goal midway through the first half had put Slovakia ahead, but Jude Bellingham equalised with an overhead kick deep into stoppage time.

And Harry Kane then headed home in the early stages of extra-time to ensure England advanced to the last eight, where they will face Switzerland on Saturday (5pm BST kick-off).
