On July 1st, in the round of 16 of the European Championship, England beat Slovakia 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. The most embarrassing part of the game was Manchester City prodigy Foden, who was just substituted, and the Three Lions instantly turned the tables.
In this European Championship, Foden has performed poorly and has become the most criticized player in the England squad. As the Premier League MVP, Foden’s slump in the European Championship is unexpected.
In the game between England and Slovakia, Foden remained silent. When England fell behind 0-1, in the final minutes of the second half stoppage time, England coach Southgate replaced Foden with Tony.
But as soon as Foden came off, Bellingham scored a back-heel goal to equalize and help England turn the game around, making the score 1-1. At the start of extra time, Kane scored with a header to help England complete the comeback.
England completed an incredible comeback to reach the quarter-finals just after Foden left the field. So, will Southgate continue to trust Foden in the coming games?
