However, Southgate has only bolstered his repertoire of international tournament success, now featuring in his second major tournament and establishing two semi-finals and a final in his time at the helm of the Three Lions.<\/p>\n

Wednesday night\u2019s game started in the opposite fashion to that<\/em> Croatia game three years ago, an absolutely sensational free-kick from one of the young stars of the tournament Mikkel Damsgaard, a dagger into the heart of the Three Lions.<\/p>\n

For many, including myself, it felt like the journey was coming to an end. Up to that point England hadn\u2019t conceded a goal in nearly 700 minutes, an amazing feat and it put the side in a scenario we hadn\u2019t seen them in for an awfully long time, a goal behind.<\/p>\n

However, what ensued was a Southgate masterclass. As we have become accustomed to throughout the tournament, consistently making decisions that have shocked the nation but in the long run have worked and the inclusion of Bukayo Saka was pivotal to the equaliser.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s options on the wings are not limited at all, featuring some of the most skilful and tricky players in the tournament, and the Sancho > Saka or vice versa debate has been there throughout.<\/p>\n

Saka proved himself once again, his electrifying pace and rawness has made him a threat when he has played during the tournament, making a very strong case for his position in the starting 11 for the final.<\/p>\n
