BUKAYO SAKA'S proud girlfriend Tolami Benson posed with his Player of the Match trophy after England's win over Switzerland.

The Three Lions progressed to the Euro 2024 semi-final after winning 5-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra-time.

Saka scored from the spot to remedy his miss in the Euro 2020 final, and curled in England's equaliser in the 80th minute.

He was a thorn in Switzerland's side throughout despite playing in a less familiar right wing-back role and his performance was rewarded with the Player of the Match award.

Saka celebrated the huge victory in the stands with his partner Tolami, giving her a hug.

The Arsenal star also presented her with his award, and Tolami took to Instagram to pose with the gong.

In one snap she aimed a kiss at the trophy as she captioned the post: "My baby’s baby 🏆"

All five of England's takers converted to make it a perfect set of pens and Saka was asked about exorcising his Wembley demons.

He said: “It’s something I embrace. It was special, very special, how we fought back. The last time we went to penalties we all know what happened.

“You can fail once but you have a choice whether you put yourself in that position again or not. I’m a guy who is going to put myself in that position. I believed in myself.

“To come back from something like that was really difficult but I used it to make me stronger.

“We know there are two more games until we can change our lives and make some history that’s never been made before. We’re really focused on that.

“Hopefully in the next game we can win in 90 minutes. But if this is what it takes we will do anything.”
