Watch: bukayo saka has england opener disallowed against slovenia at euro 2024

Bukayo Saka had a goal denied by an offside decision in the build-up during England's final group stage game against Slovenia. England were already guaranteed their place in the round

of 16 before the game even kicked off, but had a major point to prove after attracting criticism for their thoroughly underwhelming performances against Serbia and Denmark in their previous

games. Claiming the top spot in Group C also offers (at least in theory) an easier draw in their first knockout game, with only a win over Slovenia absolutely certain to deliver that without

relying on the scoreline in the other game between Denmark and Serbia. You may like VIDEO: EURO 2024: PREVIOUS WINNERS ENGLAND OFFSIDE SCRUBS OUT BUKAYO SAKA 'GOAL' England again

made a slow start out in Cologne and struggled to get attacking moves together in the early stages, but they finally sparked into life as the 20 minute mark approached with a move up the

the winning side going on to face either Switzerland or Italy in the quarter-finals. A meeting with Germany in the round of 16 awaits the Group C runners-up, potentially with Spain to follow

in the quarters; while the third-placed side’s route would pit them against an as-yet undetermined group winner. Conor Gallagher replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold as Declan Rice’s midfield

partner in the only change Gareth Southgate made to his starting line-up having named the same XI for his side’s first two games at Euro 2024. England played in their first-ever European

Championship final three years ago, but succumbed to a penalty shootout defeat at Italy’s expense. _GET A FREE LIVE STREAM TO WATCH EURO 2024 FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD__ TO THE
