While England eased their way past San Marino to book their place at Euro 2016, their next opponents worked considerably harder for the win.

After not getting off to the best of starts in their qualifying group, the Swiss entered the match knowing that a win would give them a decent chance of reaching France next summer. However, with 10 minutes left to play, things didn't exactly run like (Swiss) clockwork. After going behind to a Milivoje Novakovic goal just before half time, a Bostjan Cesar header put the Swiss two down on 49 minutes. With qualification hopes in jeopardy, Switzerland had to wait until the 80th before scoring their first; Josip Drmic giving them hope of an unlikely turnaround. When Valentin Stocker levelled the scored a couple of minutes later, momentum was firmly with the home side. Finally, three and a half minutes into injury time, the ball fell at the feet of Drmic - who was able to add his second and complete an incredible turnaround. Cue wild celebrations. https://youtu.be/_M11CEh6NMg
