England defeated Panama 6-1 to all but assure themselves a place in the last 16 of the World Cup.
The game started off on a good note for the Three Lions as defender John Stones put them in the lead early on during the first half as he scored from a corner.
The phenomenal Harry Kane soon doubled the lead from the penalty spot after Jesse Lingard was brought down in the area. Lingard went on to score the third.
Defender Stones went on to score his second of the game with a header from a set-piece. After England was handed a second penalty before the break, Kane again converted to score his second of the game.
During the second half, Kane managed to gain a hat-trick after a shot from Ruben Loftus-Cheek deflected off him and went into the net.
Panama managed to get a consolation goal late on during the game as Felipe Baloyi scored after a free-kick crossed his pass.
The 37-year-old Baloyi is set to retire from professional football after the World Cup. The goal was Panama’s first in World Cup history and it is fitting that he has scored it before he ends his career.
