Captain Harry Kane struck a hat-trick as England marched into the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2018 after registering a record 6-1 win over Panama on Sunday.
With the win, England qualified for the knockout stage with a game to spare, along with Belgium who also have six points.
Meanwhile, debutants Panama are eliminated along with Tunisia.
England were 5-0 up at halftime after taking full advantage of a poor defence from Panama.
A header from a corner by John Stones, a penalty from Kane and a beautiful strike from Jesse Lingard set them on their way.
A Stones header from a well-worked free-kick routine and a second Kane penalty gave them a 5-0 lead going into the break.
