Bellingham bag winner for England as Weghorst wins it late for Netherlands

England kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign with a subpar win over Slovakia, thanks to a 1-0 victory over Serbia on Sunday night.

Former Chelsea youngster Marc Guehi made his first Euro appearance for the Three Lions.

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham got the game’s only goal for England, who sit on top of Group C, two points ahead of Denmark and Slovenia.

Erik Jana’s second-half equalizer ended Denmark’s dream of a winning start after Christian Eriksen had given them the lead.

Wout Weghorst scored the late winner for the Netherlands, who had to come from behind to beat Poland 2-1.

Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo restored parity in the 29th minute following Adam Buska’s opener for the Poles before the former Manchester United striker found the back of the net with seven minutes to end the game.

One of the tournament’s favorites, France, will battle Austria on Monday, June 17 at 7 p.m. after the games between Belgium and Slovakia and Romania’s clash against Ukraine.
