Days on from winning their first ever penalty shootout in the tournament’s history to see off Colombia in the last-16 stage, headers from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli helped them beat Sweden 2-0 in a quarter-final in Samara. They will now take on either Croatia or Russia in the Luzhniki Stadium on Wednesday for a place in the World Cup final.
Clearly this meant a lot to England’s players, as was shown by the reaction of Marcus Rashford after full-time.
The Manchester United youngster appeared as a second half substitute against Sweden. Shortly after the game finished, he was seen hunched on his knees, many assuming he was receiving treatment for an injury.
