England reached the quarter-finals of a major tournament for a fourth consecutive time under Southgate but Sunday’s 2-1 win owed more to good fortune than good play.
A moment of individual brilliance by Jude Bellingham and a Harry Kane header came in a two-minute spell at the end of stoppage time and the start of extra time.
