Eng are through to the Euro 2024 semi-finals after beating Switzland on penalty

His  shot to keep England alive was  his  first  shot  on target of the  game.
 
  England  will not  ultimately  mind  as it was  work  done but there is surely a limit to how  many  times  they can  complicate  their  lives  before they get  out  of  a  jam.|
 
  Saka's  goal was  reward for  an  outstanding  performance  while Aston  Villa's  Ezri Konsa was impeccable in defence as  a  replacement  for  the  suspended Marc Guehi.| 
 
  Kobbie Mainoo also  shone  in midfield but it remains a mystery why  such  an  attacking  England  team  have  looked  so  helpless  for so  long,  something Southgate will have to  sort  out  before  the  semi-finals.|
 
  For now,  though,  England can  be  delighted  to  stay  alive at Euro 2024  despite  their  nerves  as Southgate  guides  them  to  the  semi-finals  of a major tournament  again.|
 
  England's  penalty-taking  skills  were  on  display

  England manager Southgate was so confident  he  took  captain and  penalty  expert Harry Kane  off  with 11 minutes  to  go.|
 
  Kane,  off the pace throughout,  took  a heavy knock  and  then  fell  awkwardly  in  the dugout before Southgate  brought  Toney  on.
 
  Toney's  penalty-taking  experience  was  put  to  the  test  in the Premier League for Brentford, so when it came to penalties, Southgate had an impressive group to  secure  a  place  in  the  semi-finals  and the striker did not  disappoint.
 
  Palmer,  dubbed  'cool'  Palmer for his  brave  12-yard  tackle  against  Chelsea,  got  England on  track  before Bellingham, Saka,  the  Arsenal  penalty  taker  and Toney set the stage for  Alexander-Arnold.

  For Saka, it was a moment of redemption after  saving  the  decisive  last-gasp  penalty  at Wembley three years ago as Italy beat England to win the last European Championship final on  penalties.
 
  It will give Southgate a  sense  of security in these  difficult  situations to  be  able  to  turn  to  these  specialists.
