Gareth Southgate’s men defeated their bitter rivals for the first time in the knockout stages of a major competition since the 1966 World Cup with a score of 2-0.
Raheem Sterling opened the scoring on 75 minutes when he slotted the ball past Manuel Neuer – following a beautiful pass by Luke Shaw – in front of a passionate home crowd at Wembley.
England captain Harry Kane finally found the back of the net on 86 minutes for his first goal of the tournament, after a fine assist by Jack Grealish, sealing qualification to the quarter-finals.
