England knocked it out of the park against Panama and drowned them in a pool of goals. The initial attacking surge that caught Tunisia napping was present in its truest form once again as the Englishmen ran riot at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
John Stones headed home in the 8th minute to put England ahead after being left unmarked inside the area. Harry Kane bagged 3 goals- 2 from the penalty spot and one, as inadvertent a goal as any he is likely to claim in his career. Jesse Lingard scored an absolute peach from outside the area.
Stones also managed to get another one in, again from a deadly set-piece routine that fell to him after Sterling’s header from point-blank range was parried by Penedo.
Panama got a consolation goal that took their fans on a transport of delight as Baloy struck home from an Avila.
