England vs Colombia LIVE World Cup 2018: England win penalty shootout and through to quarter-finals - latest reaction from Moscow
Follow all the action as England look to win a first knockout game in 12 years
England are through to the quarter-finals of World Cup 2018 after a nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Colombia.
Harry Kane had put England into the lead shortly after half-time from the penalty spot after the striker was fouled by defender Carlos Sanchez, with the captain brushing himself down to score his sixth goal of the tournament to remain top goalscorer.
But Colombia displayed their incredible resilience to score in the 93rd minute through a well-executed header through defender Yelly Mina, sending the game to extra-time with the scores locked at 1-1.
With no splitting the teams after 30 additional minutes, the game headed to penalties with England slipping behind when Jordan Henderson's effort was saved. However, Mateus Uribe rattled his effort off the crossbar before goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved from Carlos Bacca, setting up Eric Dier to score the match-winning penalty and send England through to a quarter-final against Sweden. Here's how the action unfolded.

Prediction:
Colombia 1-1 England (England win on penalties). It’s pretty unlikely, because England don’t win shootouts, but Germany don’t go out at the group stage so who knows?
Wow. We've just about had time to process that one. England have WON a penalty shootout, we are into the quarter finals, with a winnable game against Sweden. We have a captain that's leading the golden boot charts, and survived a last minute comeback from Colombia.
A brilliant report from Jonathan Liew on the madness and magic we witnessed as England defeated Colombia.
