- Gary Neville and Ian Wright celebrated wildly in the ITV studio on Sunday
- They celebrated Jude Bellingham’s late goal for England against Slovakia
- England beat Slovakia 2-1 in extra time in the round of 16 of Euro 2024
Jude Bellingham’s equalizer against Slovakia on Sunday sparked jubilation among England fans in Germany and at home.
The Three Lions were seconds away from exiting Euro 2024 in the round of 16 before Jude Bellingham scored a stunning bicycle kick deep into extra time.
Harry Kane later scored in extra time as England won 2-1 and booked a quarter-final against Switzerland next weekend.
Sunday’s match was broadcast live on ITV 1, whose commentator team included former England players Gary Neville and Ian Wright.
Footage of Neville and Wright’s reaction to Bellingham’s goal was shared by ITV on social media and it’s fair to say they enjoyed it as much as any other England fan.

Both men initially celebrated by running around with their arms up, after which Neville jumped into Wright’s arms.
Neville then let out several high-pitched screams before shouting, “We’re not going home!”
Despite his boisterous reaction to Bellingham’s magical moment, Neville was critical of England’s performance later in his post-match analysis.
He said: ‘Crossing the line and winning in tournaments is very important.
“But to think that you can play a month-long tournament like we do and make it to the end… I don’t think that’s realistic.”
Former England right-back Neville was filmed repeatedly shouting: ‘WE’RE NOT GOING HOME!’

Wright added: “You look forward to the next game but you don’t think ‘yeah, we’re doing it, we’re playing well’.”
It feels like [England are reliant on] moments. What we need is some structure.
‘At some point we have to find a way to beat teams by beating them.’
