Harry Maguire and Dele Alli fired England into the World Cup semi-finals for the first time in 28 years after it eased its way to a 2-0 victory over Sweden.
Maguire opened the scoring in the 30th minute. The England defender jumped high and headed in to beat Robin Olsen.
Alli doubled the lead after the break to clear the way for the Three Lions towards the semifinals. Jesse Lingard delivered a brilliant pass to the back post and Alli ran onto it and headed with ease.
Sweden tried to get back into the match, but Jordan Pickford was the hero at the back. The England's goalkeeper made atleast three superb saves to deny the Swedes.
The victory sends Gareth Southgate's young squad into the last four. England will play either Russia or Croatia in the semifinals.
