The England three lions have much to be grateful after today (June 29) securing themselves a place in the last eight of the European Championships.

Thanks to a 2-0 victory over their German rivals, England will live to see another day in the Euros 2020.

After a nil all start, England took the lead in the game’s 75th minute when Luke Shaw squared the ball from the left flank to find Jamaica-born footballer Raheem Sterling, who had started the move and finished it with a tap-in from the edge of the six-yard box as the home crowd erupted.

The English team later sealed the deal when captain Harry Kane scored the team’s second goal in the 86th minute after substitute Jack Grealish crossed the ball and he rushed in to beat German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Earlier, England keeper Jordan Pickford did well to keep out Timo Werner before tipping over a stinging volley from Kai Havertz. At the other end, Mats Hummels denied Kane with a last-ditch clearance just before halftime.

England will play either Sweden or Ukraine, who meet later on Tuesday (June 29) in Glasgow in the final last-16 match.
