NETHERLANDS defender Denzel Dumfries denied Phil Foden a wonder goal during tonight’s Euro 2024 semi-final.
With just over 20 minutes played, Foden worked his way into the box and skipped past two defenders before going for goal from a tight angle.
The ball slipped through the legs of Bart Verbruggen and looked to be going in, but Dumfries stopped it on the line.
Fans were left utterly stunned by the incredible block, with one person taking to social media to write: “That would have been the greatest goal of all time from Foden btw.”
Another commented: “Foden got to be the most unlucky player I’ve ever seen HOW IS THAT NOT A GOAL.”
A third said: “That looked like a goal by Foden lol.”
