Euro 2024 daily recap Jude Bellingham puts England ahead in
Here's everything that happened on the third day of Euro 2024.

The group stage of Euro 2024 continued on Sunday with some late-game dramatics in Poland's matchup with the Netherlands, followed by a heavyweight battle between England and Serbia.

Here's a recap of everything that happened on the third day of Euro 2024, with stats from FOX Sports Research:

  • The Netherlands improved to 10-3-7 (W-L-D) all-time vs Poland, outscoring them 30 to 20 in those matches. They have not lost to Poland in their last 13 matches, a streak dating back to May of 1979.
  • The Netherlands played a game at a major tournament without a player from Ajax in the starting lineup for the first time since 2008, and just the 12th time ever.
  • Seven of Wout Weghorst's last nine goals for the Netherlands have come as a substitute. He is also just the second Dutch player with three consecutive games in which he came on as a substitute and scored.
  • Cody Gakpo became the third European player to score in each of his last four group stage games at the Euros and World Cup in this century, joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Álvaro Morata.
  • Robert Lewandowski did not play for Poland at a major tournament for the first time since the 2008 Euros; he had played every minute of the previous 18 matches.
  • Michal Probierz recorded his first loss with Poland since becoming manager in September 2023. His record in that stretch is 5-1-3 (W-L-D).

  • England recorded its fifth straight clean sheet in the group stage of the Euros, making it the first team ever to do so.
  • England has scored more headed goals (18) at the Euros all-time than any other nation.

Best of the Day

Assist of the Day: Jonas Wind, Denmark

As if Christian Eriksen scoring a goal in his return to Euros wasn't poetic enough, Jonas Wind's backheel to set it up made it all the more special.

Save of the Day: Wojciech Szczęsny, Poland

Poland has one of the best shot-blockers in the world in Wojciech Szczęsny — unfortunately for Poland, his heroics in goal weren't enough to secure the win.

Goal of the Day: Wout Weghorst, Netherlands

At this point, "supersub" isn't a strong enough superlative for Wout Weghorst, whose 83rd minute goal gave the Netherlands all three points on the day.
