Telegraph Sport analyses and rates each England player’s performance while, below, you can mark Southgate’s charges out of 10.
England (3-4-2-1)
Jordan Pickford
England’s penalty shoot-out hero yet again. Saved Akanji’s first spot-kick for the Swiss and it proved to be vital. 8/10
Kyle Walker
This has not been a great tournament for Walker and a better performance was ruined by the fact Embolo got ahead of him to score. 5/10
John Stones
Could not quite get a firm enough touch to the Ndoye cross from which Embolo put Switzerland ahead. Calm and composed otherwise. 6/10
Ezri Konsa
The Aston Villa defender stepped in for the suspended Marc Guehi and barely put a foot wrong before Ndoye’s cross for Embolo went through his legs. 7/10
Bukayo Saka
England’s most dangerous man for the entire game and scored the vital equaliser with a brilliant curling shot and netted from the spot. 9/10
Kobbie Mainoo
An excellent performance from the 19-year-old. Created space for himself and carried England forward. Had a shot blocked by Xhaka. 7/10
Declan Rice
Looked much happier with three central defenders behind him, which meant the Arsenal man did not play so deep. Saw an extra-time shot brilliantly saved. 7/10
Kieran Trippier
Asked to stay on the left by Southgate, this time in a higher position, and had to cut back to deliver crosses. Replaced by Shaw. 6/10
Jude Bellingham
Drew a booking for Schar after beating him on the left and getting brought down. Moved further back after Southgate made his first substitutions and was nerveless from the spot. 8/10
Phil Foden
Busy, busy, busy. Foden ran his socks off, but we are still waiting for that moment we see so regularly for Manchester City. 6/10
Harry Kane
The captain did not look at all comfortable. England wanted him to lead the press and he just could not do it. Took an extra-time tumble into the dug-out and forced off. 4/10
Subs
Cole Palmer 78 (for Konsa): Nerves of ice. ‘Cold’ Palmer not only stepped up to take a penalty, but took and scored England’s first of the shoot-out. 8/10
Luke Shaw 78 (for Trippier): Finally we saw the Manchester United left-back as Southgate reacted to Switzerland’s opening goal. One crucial extra-time block. 7/10
Eberechi Eze 78 (for Mainoo): Thrown on in desperation by Southgate and pulled one shot wide. Did well defensively as a makeshift wing-back. 7/10
Ivan Toney 105 (for Kane): Replaced the captain in time for the penalty shoot-out and scored with his kick. 8/10
Trent Alexander-Arnold 115 (for Foden): Sent on late and scored the penalty in the shoot-out that sent England into the semi-finals. 8/10
Not used: Aaron Ramsdale (g), Dean Henderson (g), Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk, Adam Wharton, Conor Gallagher, Anthony Gordon, Jarrod Bowen, Ollie Watkins.
Booked: Kane.
