Colombia 1-1 (P) England: Three Lions Reach Last 8 After Dramatic Penalty Shootout Win

England have reached the quarter finals of the 2018 World Cup - facing Sweden in the last eight at the weekend - after an incredible penalty shootout win over Colombia.

Eric Dier's winning penalty secured it for the Three Lions, after Carlos Bacca missed a sudden death spot kick to put the tie in England's hands. Gareth Southgate's side should have realistically tied it up in normal time following another penalty from Harry Kane, but Yerry Mina's injury time equaliser forced a nervy extra time period.

It was a lively start inside the Otkrytie Arena, as England looked to take the game to Colombia.
