The Three Lions got the better of Colombia in their last-16 encounter through a penalty shootout, earning the praise of their royal family

Prince William has expressed his pride in the England team after they knocked Colombia out of the World Cup.

The Three Lions beat Los Cafeteros in the last 16 thanks to a 4-3 penalty shootout win after the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in Moscow on Tuesday.

A Harry Kane penalty gave England the lead in the second half and they looked certain to win until the dying seconds of normal time, when Yerry Mina headed in an equaliser.
