England player ratings: Saka the saviour for Three Lions but subbed Kane stuggles in penalties thriller vs Switzerland
To penalties it went - just like it did between these two sides five years ago in the Nations League. Did not play at left wing-back as expected, but was England’s most dangerous attacking player throughout - and none more so when he came to the rescue with his 80th-minute leveller which flew in off the post.
The Sun's Charlie Wyett England review as 'lucky' Three Lions squeak by Switzerland in dramatic penalty shootoutHe said: "History of winning major tournaments shows that you've got to go into extra time, maybe win a penalty shoot-out. Not for the first time, Southgate nearly paid the price for his bloody-minded refusal to react with substitutions and you have to wonder if he is ever going to learn.At least the England manager reverted to a three-man defence which served him well at the World Cup in 2018 and, on occasions, during Euro 2020.
It really made no sense whatsoever. Southgate will have his reasons but it was still a case of putting a square peg into a round hole.
