Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka was proud of his performance in England\u2019s Euros quarter-final victory against Switzerland.<\/p>\n
The Three Lions sailed into the semi-final after 5-3 penalty shootout win against Switzerland.
\nThe keenly contested ended 1-1 after extra time.<\/p>\n
Saka scored in normal time and also in the shootout, to banish the memories of his miss in the final of Euro 2020.
\n\u201d I think for me it\u2019s something I embrace,\u201d the 22-year-old said afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can fail once but you have a choice whether you put yourself in that position again or not.
\nI\u2019m a guy who is going to put myself in that position. I believed in myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I saw the ball hit the net, I was a very happy man. I\u2019m not going to be focusing on the past. That\u2019s done. I can only focus on now and taking a penalty.
\n\u201cOf course I know there\u2019s a lot of nervous people watching, my family included and in the crowd.
\nBut I kept my cool and I scored.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
