Nations League: England beat Switzerland 6-5 on penalties after 0-0 draw

England have won their past two penalty shootouts in major tournaments, after losing their last six

England beat Switzerland on penalties to finish third at the inaugural Uefa Nations League finals.

Both sides scored their first five spot-kicks before Jordan Pickford saved Josip Drmic’s effort to give Gareth Southgate’s side victory.

The penalties provided some welcome drama after a lacklustre 120 minutes.

England had come closest to winning the game in normal time – hitting the woodwork twice while Callum Wilson had a goal ruled out by VAR for a foul.

Hosts Portugal will take on the Netherlands in the Nations League final at 19:45 BST on Sunday.
