Another roller-coaster of despair and elation that England’s fans had to endure before knowing victory was theirs.

It won’t be long before match statistics, which now stand at 7 times met, England winning 6 and drawing 1, mask entirely the drama of this encounter.

After a full 90 minutes played it was Slovakia 1, England 0 with 6 minutes of stoppage time standing between the misery of defeat and the agony of further watching England try and find the Slovakian net.

Then lady luck said it was England’s night so Jude Bellingham’s individual brilliance tied the match in the 5th minute of stoppage time while Harry Kane was business-as-usual and headed the winner home in the 1st minute of 30 minute extra time.

That left England’s fans with the task of emotionally surviving 29 minutes of England being 2-1 up before the whistle let everyone relax and breathe.
