Declan Rice was concerned in a heated altercation with Slovakia supervisor Francesco Calzona after England received 2-1 after extra-time to achieve the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.
TV footage captured Calzona pushing Rice away after approaching referee Umut Meler following the ultimate whistle.
The England star took exception and was seen furiously gesticulating and aiming expletives at Calzona earlier than being pulled away by Ivan Toney.
Rice was then noticed telling Slovakian coaches and substitutes to ‘shut up’ as he was faraway from the scenario by Toney and Ezri Konsa.
The incident got here after England had survived an enormous scare as Jude Bellingham scored a dramatic ninety fifth minute equaliser earlier than Harry Kane scored the winner lower than a minute into extra-time.

The victory arrange a gathering with Switzerland, who beat Italy 2-0, within the final eight on Saturday.
It isn’t clear what irked Calzona and prompted him to talk to the referee after the ultimate whistle had blown.
He pushed Rice within the chest and could possibly be seen aiming phrases on the 25-year-old.
Konsa, Toney and back-up goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale have been concerned in attempting to diffuse the scenario after coming to the defence of their England counterpart.
England have been abject all through the competition in Gelsenkirchen after falling behind within the twenty fifth minute to Ivan Schranz’s well-taken effort.
They needed to wait till deep into the dying phases as Bellingham’s acrobatic second of magic spared their blushes and preserved their place within the match.
Bellingham’s excellent bicycle kick sparked a turnaround as Kane headed dwelling within the first minute of the extra 30.
England then held on to safe an important victory to progress to the quarter-finals and maintain Gareth Southgate in his job.
