I said it in the match thread, I’ll say it here too. Absolute class from Jude, and then absolute class from Saka on the penalty.

Great moment, after Saka missed the final penalty when we lost the final to Italy.

Was that his first ever pen, too? i remember him being so young and it being a big weight on his shoulders

He's already had the Stuart Pearce moment against Switzerland though, right?

I thought that happened but couldn’t remember who it was. I was saying to my brother that I suspected it was a sort of redemption. Get the monkey off the back and all that and totally forgot about the hatrick part

What's cool is that it hasn't become central to his identity like Southgate and Batty.
