Saka 'proud' to star as England reach final four
Match report: Switzerland v England
Bukayo Saka was thrilled to dispatch a crucial penalty as England beat Switzerland on spot-kicks in the EURO 2024 quarter-final.
Saka was also the Three Lions' hero during normal time, scoring a superb equaliser in a 1-1 draw to take the game to extra time.
Having also played in a multitude of positions, it was a stellar evening for the Arsenal star.
He said: "It was special how we fought back to go to penalties. Last time we had a penalty shoot-out at the EUROs [2020 final v Italy] we know what happened.
"I have faith in God, to come back from something like that was really difficult. I used it to make me stronger and today I took the chance so I’m happy. I'm so proud of everyone that we got over the line.
"I believed, I felt like we dominated the whole game. The chance would come and it did come, I was the one who took it so I’m proud of myself for that."
With a semi-final to come in Dortmund on Wednesday, Saka is delighted England are still fighting.
He said: "I think it shows how much we want to win this tournament. The last two games we’ve been 1-0 down in the late stages and we’ve come back.
"Hopefully next game we can win in 90 minutes but if this is what it takes, we’ll do anything."
