Jack Grealish inspired England to a 2-0 victory over Germany at Euro 2020 and a place in the quarter-finals.
The Aston Villa captain stepped off the bench in the 69th minute and proved the spark for the Three Lions as they scored twice in the latter stages to wrap up a memorable triumph at Wembley.
Having only been on the pitch merely six minutes, Grealish played his part in the build-up for Raheem Sterling’s crucial opener before then providing the assist for Harry Kane to head home England’s second goal in the 86th minute.
It secured a place in the last eight for Gareth Southgate’s side and a showdown against Ukraine on Saturday (ko 8pm).

Grealish was named among the substitutes alongside team-mate Tyrone Mings for the eagerly-awaited round of 16 tie.
But he stepped off the bench midway through the second period and proved to be the catalyst.
Sterling started the move for England’s 75th-minute opener, carrying the ball and finding Kane on the edge of the area, he played the ball across to Grealish, who fed Luke Shaw out wide and he crossed low for Sterling to slide home from six yards.
The Villa skipper claimed the assist for England’s second goal, his second of Euro 2020 in three appearances, to wrap up victory, receiving the ball from Shaw in the left channel and crossing for Kane to head home from close range.
It wrapped up England’s first victory over Germany in the knockout stages of a major international tournament for 55 years and sealed a spot in the quarter-finals this weekend.
