England are through to the World Cup quarter-finals after defeating Colombia 4-3 on penalties.
The Three Lions faced their sternest World Cup test yet as they took on Colombia in the last 16.
The sides were stuck in a 1-1 deadlock following 90 minutes leading to a stunted spell of extra time which saw frustrations boil as neither side managed to clinch the deciding goal at Spartak Stadium in the Russian capital Moscow.
The spectre of penalties returned once again as England fought to make it past the first knockout round of a competition.
Harry Kane’s penalty set the tone for an England squad who have exceeded expectations at the tournament, and teammate Eric Dier ensured the Three Lions’ place in the quarter finals after an excellent Jordan Pickford penalty save.
England will now play Sweden in the quarter-finals at 3pm on Saturday, July 7.
