‘The stones on this guy!’ - Jude Bellingham hails penalty hero Bukayo Saka after England penalty shootout redemption for Arsenal star at Euro 2024

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Saka was the hero for England as they trailed by a goal against an in-form Switzerland side, with the Arsenal winger restoring parity with a stunning strike from outside the box. He was also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-england-star-didnt-fancy-taking-penalty-switzerland/blt31b7e6ebb2bf3680" target="_blank">one of the five players to step up for Gareth Southgate's side</a> during the penalty shootout, and he buried his spot-kick past Yann Sommer to see England through - after Manuel Akanji missed his effort for the Swiss.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bellingham has lavished praise on the Arsenal star for his performance and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bukayo-saka-viral-incredible-interview-penalty-redemption-england-win-over-switzerland/blt87561d7244471e81" target="_blank">decision to step up for the Three Lions during a crucial penalty shootout</a> - despite having been portrayed as a villain when he missed his spot kick in the Euro final against Italy in 2021. Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho fluffed their lines from 12 yards as the Three Lions missed their biggest chance to win a major title since 1966.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

On Instagram, Bellingham posted a story of Saka holding the 'Man of the Match' trophy and wrote: "The stones on this guy, some player! Bukayo Saka."<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltf3f43d50e6452165/Screenshot%202024-07-07%20at%2012-26-06%20Stories%20%E2%80%A2%20Instagram.png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltf3f43d50e6452165/Screenshot%202024-07-07%20at%2012-26-06%20Stories%20%E2%80%A2%20Instagram.png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltf3f43d50e6452165/Screenshot%202024-07-07%20at%2012-26-06%20Stories%20%E2%80%A2%20Instagram.png?format=jpg" alt="Jude Bellingham Bukayo Saka Instagram" data-source="" data-copyright="Instagram (@judebellingham)" data-portal-copyright="Instagram (@judebellingham)" perform:prop="uuid:bltf3f43d50e6452165;width:485;height:783"></picture>

WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

Both the Three Lions superstars will likely be among the first names on the team sheet for Southgate when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-penalty-kings-better-off-without-harry-kane-winners-losers-switzerland-shootout-euro-2024/blt986cc3cdf8d09b06" target="_blank">England take on the Netherlands on July 10 in the semi-finals of the Euros</a> - with major silverware still up for grabs.
