The Swiss remain in contention for the last-16 qualification while the Turks, who end the group stage without a win, surely now face elimination.

Switzerland defeated Turkey 3-1 to keep their hopes of making it to the next stage of Euro 2020 alive.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been unsuccessful in making a place for himself in the Liverpool line-up, but in light of his performance tonight, Jurgen Klopp would at least consider inserting him into some of his starting XIs next season.

Shaqiri got on the scoresheet twice, curling the ball into the top-right corner of the net for his first goal while slamming a first-time shot from the edge of the area for his second.

Sandwiched between the 29-year-old winger’s efforts was a strike from Haris Seferovic, who essentially silenced those who doubted his inclusion in the Swiss squad.

Tukey go home with zero points from their three group stage matches. Switzerland, meanwhile, could stay afloat in the tournament as one of the best third-placed teams.
