Who said what after England beat Slovakia in Euro 2024 last 16

Who said what after England needed an injury-time Jude Bellingham equaliser and then extra time to beat Slovakia 2-1 in their Euro 2024 last 16 match on Sunday:

"That's the desire and the attitude from the boys. It looked tough for a second there but you keep going... Jude does what Jude does and what an unbelievable goal."

-- England captain Harry Kane after his side left it late to overcome Slovakia

"One of the best in our country's history, I reckon."

-- Kane on Bellingham's 95th-minute overhead kick equaliser

"We know we'll do whatever it takes. (If) we have another game like this in the quarter-finals then so be it. This team knows how to dig deep and that's exactly what we've done today. We could have been better, we could have played better but ultimately it's a results business and that's what we care about. We can enjoy the comeback and hopefully take that momentum into the rest of the tournament."

-- Kane looking forward to the meeting with Switzerland in the quarter-finals

"I know what I can deliver in those moments. Regardless of what people say, I've done it this year for Madrid, I've done it for England before. Just happy to help the team."

-- Jude Bellingham on his match-turning goal

"A good win, through to the next round. Very happy. It's been tough the last week or so to keep the negative energy out of the camp. I think today they will have been ready for us. We showed the character that England's missed. It's very important to get through."

-- Bellingham on the external criticism of England's performances
