England 2 Switzerland 1 LIVE RESULT: Harry Kane scores penalty after Luke Shaw equaliser for Three Lions

The post England 2 Switzerland 1 LIVE RESULT: Harry Kane scores penalty after Luke Shaw equaliser for Three Lions appeared first on TodayHeadline.


HARRY KANE has scored from the penalty spot to give England the win against Switzerland.

VAR ruled that the Three Lions deserved a penalty after spotting a hand ball.

Luke Shaw had equalised for England in the dying moments of the first half.

Breel Embolo had given Switzerland the lead at Wembley against an under-strength Three Lions.

Gareth Southgate’s side are now undefeated in eight games and last lost a game over 90 minutes against Belgium in November 2020.

Of course that penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the Euros final will not be forgotten in a hurry, even if the Azzurri failed to qualify for Qatar.

  • Full time – England 2-1 Switzerland

    England come from behind to get the job done on home turf.

    Harry Kane’s late penalty earned the Three Lions victory, but it was a win that they had to fight hard for after Switzerland had taken a first half lead.

    Luke Shaw strike on the stroke of half-time cancelled out Breel Embolo’s opener against the run of the play, before a much-changed England took charge in the second period.

    Kane’s winner takes him on to 49 international goals for England, level with Sir Bobby Charlton, and just four away from Wayne Rooney’s record.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    90+5. The delivery is swung into the box. It’s miskicked at the near post, Rice is pulled down in the centre, and Grealish heads clear at the back stick.

    That will be the final action of this friendly.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    90+4. Switzerland win a corner.

    The drama of it all.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    90+3. There’s a late chance for Switzerland to level, but Declan Rice gets back to cover.

    The West Ham favourite has been superb since his introduction.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    90+1. Coady almost gets in on the act, but his twisting header is punched away in a most unorthodox manner by Omlin.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    90. A mix-up between goalkeeper and defence almost allow Watkins and Sterling to steal in for a third, but the visitors manage to survive.

    Four minutes of stoppage time will now be played.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    88. There will be no number 50 tonight.

    Harry Kane will save himself for Tuesday’s test against Ivory Coast by sitting out the final few minutes here.

    The captain’s armband is passed to Jordan Henderson as Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins comes on for a late appearance.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    87. Rodriguez whistles a speculative shot over the crossbar, and England are going to make their final change.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    85. Into the final five minutes at Wembley. Can England hold out for yet another friendly success?

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    83. White continues to impress since moving to right wing-back.

    He sparks a move that sees Henderson in an advanced position, and in an area to deliver a cross.

    The Liverpool midfielder sends it long, looking for Bellingham, but the England substitute is too forceful in his attempts to meet it, instead bundling over Mbabu.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    81. England immediately make their fifth change after taking the lead, and it brings an appearance for young Jude Bellingham.

    The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is on for Phil Foden.

  • England 2-1 Switzerland

    79. The England captain makes no mistake from 12 yards!

    Unfocused by all that’s happening around him, the striker runs up and buries the penalty low and into the bottom left corner.

    Omlin went the right way in the Switzerland goal, but couldn’t get near it.

    Harry Kane moves level with Sir Bobby Charlton on 49 goals, and now has only Wayne Rooney ahead of him on the all-time scorers’ list with 53 England goals.

  • Goal! Harry Kane scores from the spot!

  • VAR Review! Penalty to England!

    The video officials take their time considering the incident, and the longer that they examine the footage, the more confident England become that the decision is going to come their way.

    Eventually, referee Andreas Ekberg is advised to consult the pitchside monitor, and he needs just two replays to return and point for a penalty.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    74. The corner is sent deep from the right, and finds Guehi at the far post.

    The Palace defender’s header crashes into Zuber, and immediately the England players scream for a penalty.

    The referee isn’t interested but there is a VAR check ongoing.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    74. White gets forward again, this time on the right, and wins a corner when his low centre is diverted behind.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    73. The Wembley crowd are getting really excited but it’s not because of anything that’s happening on the pitch. Could it be paper aeroplanes of Mexican waves?

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    71. White almost brings the house down with a thumping effort from 25 yards that whistles just over the crossbar.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    69. A decent move down the left, and one that involves two of the subs.

    Grealish finds Mitchell via Foden, and the debutant at left-back curls a decent cross into the box.

    Kane gets up to meet it, but can’t get enough power into his header to truly test Omlin, who makes a comfortable save.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    67. Unsurprisingly, those seven substitutions have taken all the momentum out of the game.

    Someone is going to have to step up the tempo here to avoid this contest petering out to a 1-1 draw.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    64. Now it’s the turn of the Swiss to ring the changes.

    Andi Zeqiri, Djibril Sow and Steven Zuber are introduced with Renato Steffen, Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas making way.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland – England substitutions

    62. Here we go! England make a quadruple substitution.

    On come fans favourites Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling and Declan Rice, and there’s also an international debut for Tyrick Mitchell.

    Off go Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount, Kyle Walker-Peters and goalscorer Luke Shaw.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    60. Wembley pays tribute to Kevin Norman with a minute’s applause.

    The devoted England fan died on his way to the Three Lions last game against San Marino in November, aged 60.

    Rest in peace.

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    58. Changes look imminent, and Gareth Southgate is deep in discussion with Declan Rice in the dugout.

    He’s probably saying something along the lines of “Are you sure you want to go to Chelsea? They’ve already got rid of you once in your career.”

  • England 1-1 Switzerland

    56. Embolo becomes the latest player to avoid the booking that he would have definitely received if this were a competitive game – or a friendly reffed by Mike Dean.

    The Switzerland goalscorer fails to win a free-kick after a protracted battle with Coady on the far touchline, and takes his frustration out on the nearby linesman with a volley of abuse.

    No yellow cards so far, but lots of thumbs up.
