Following an extra-time battle,\u00a0Saka\u00a0was named as one of the Three Lions\u2019 penalty takers and put an end to his heartbreak at the Euro 2020 final against Italy by converting from 12 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Saka has rightfully earned heaps of praise for his performance in an\u00a0England\u00a0shirt, and managed to catch the eye of skipper Kane, who was substituted off with injury before the dramatic penalty shootout.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after England defeated Switzerland 5-3 on penalties, Kane said of Saka: \u201cWhat a performance, the whole game. Playing in a position that he\u2019s played before, but that he\u2019s not used to playing. He was our real outlet with the ball, he caused them problems all game<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j26w08xsrxrb5gf4rn.jpg\" alt=\"Bukayo Saka\" title=\"Bukayo Saka\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Saka shone for England against the Swiss \/ James Gill \u2013 Danehouse\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cHe got the goal he fully deserved with a fantastic finish, got us back in the game when we needed it most. Then without the ball as well, the work he put in, the shift he put in. The blocks, the tackles, right up until the 120th minute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then to step up the way he did. I know the mentality he\u2019s got and I knew he\u2019d be comfortable at that situation even though what happened in the past. A fantastic night for him and he deserved it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saka and England\u2019s success guaranteed them a place among the final four teams in the tournament, with the Netherlands, Spain and France the other sides left with a chance of lifting European silverware.<\/p>\n<p>England will face Ronald Koeman\u2019s side on Wednesday 10 July as they continue their\u00a0Euro 2024\u00a0charge, with Spain set to take on France the night before.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England captain Harry Kane has heaped praise on winger Bukayo Saka after his stellar performance against Switzerland guaranteed his nation a place in the semi-finals at Euro 2024.
