HARRY KANE - "We know there’s still a big game ahead: the semi-final. But we’re feeling good, we’re feeling confident. We just have to go again. I know the fans here, and the fans back home – we’ll see some videos later – are enjoying it. We just want to make the country proud."

England will either take on Russia or Croatia next week Wednesday in the semi-final.

The host nation play the Luka Modric-lead side at 20:00 tonight.

HARRY MAGUIRE - "We felt like we dominated the ball today, controlled the play. We were a bit too sloppy towards the end of the second half though. "We knew what we’d worked on. Set plays were a big thing. The cross from Jesse [Lingard] into Dele [for the second goal], we’d worked on in training, so credit to the staff and players for executing it."

84' Eric Dier comes on for Jordan Henderson ...

07 Jul 2018

82' LINGARD!

The Manchester United forward is played in by Kane, who has been fairly quiet in this match, Lingard pulls the trigger from 25 yards out only to see his effort hit a sea of yellow shirts.

76' Dele Alli is replaced by Fabian Delph

07 Jul 2018

73' So far, Pickford should easily be given the Man of the Match award

07 Jul 2018

71' CHANCE! 

Berg receives a searching ball and knocks it down before half-volleying his effort only for Pickford to make an awesome one-arm save. 

07 Jul 2018

68' Sweden double-substitution: Martin Olsson and John Guidetti come on for Emil Forsberg and Ola Toivonen.

07 Jul 2018

65' Alli looking much better than he did against Colombia. Lingard coming to the party as well. Sterling too. Kane? Yet to score in this match 

07 Jul 2018

62' SAVE!

Wonderful build-up play from Sweden as Berg tees Claesson up for the shot, but Pickford saves his effort and then his follow-up shot is blocked as well.

07 Jul 2018

Jesse Lingard lobs in a searching cross towards a flood of England players and Sweden attempts to play the offside flag, but Alli is smart and stays back only to sneakingly push forward and dink the ball in the back of the net with his head.

58' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

07 Jul 2018

53' England have lost just one of their 22 World Cup games in which they have been leading at half-time before today (W17 D4), with that sole defeat being the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany. Resolute.

51' Sweden dictating the action in the early stages of the second stanza ...

07 Jul 2018

Sterling has been England's best player on the field but needs to realise that you have to play in your team mates when you can ...

07 Jul 2018

47' CHANCE!

Early opportunity from Sweden as an in-swinging cross comes into the penalty area and Berg rises and connects it beautifully. Pickford is quick of the mark and puts in an awesome left palm save.

07 Jul 2018

45' Second-half is underway ... 

No changes from both sides!

07 Jul 2018

The scoreline could easily have been more if Raheem Sterling was a bit less greedy in the final third of the field when England are on attack.

HALF-TIME!
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">HALF-TIME!</span></strong>

07 Jul 2018

45' STERLING AGAIN!

The Manchester City forward is once again in open space with Henderson playing sweet pass. Sterling darts forward and attempts to dummie Olsen and gets it right but the keeper slightly palms the ball away but Sterling recovers it. Kane is open and Alli joins in on the action but Sterling goes again and hits shot only for it to be defended with ease.

07 Jul 2018

43' CHANCE!

Victor Lindelof cuts out a worldly Trippier cross from the right as Sterling threatens to attack the ball from an onside position.

07 Jul 2018

41' Sterling causing havoc upfront and Sweden are struggling to contain the forward but doing just enough ...

07 Jul 2018

40' SWEDEN 0-1 ENGLAND

07 Jul 2018

38' Sweden look to get the ball in from the right, but the cross is perhaps overhit a little, and there's no attacking player who can head it on target.

07 Jul 2018

34' Sterling is looking threatening for England early on. He's had a difficult tournament and will be eager to silence some of his critics.

07 Jul 2018

It was Harry Maguire's first international goal.

On the biggest stages.

Young whips in a searching corner and Maguire rises above everyone else and heads home a thumping header.

It is England's fourth headed goal in the tournament. More than any other nation.

30' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

07 Jul 2018

30' THIRTY minutes in and England receive their first corner-kick ...

Young stands behind ...

07 Jul 2018

29' Each team has taken one shot each but neither of it hitting the target

07 Jul 2018

25' Not much goal attempts but neither England and Sweden are giving each other room or space to gather momentum.

07 Jul 2018

22' Sweden and England continue to size one-another up in this fixture. Who will open up first? 

07 Jul 2018

19' CHANCE! 

Raheem Sterling dwindles his way through the Swedish defence from the right flank and leaves three yellow shirt chasing his tail. He is 20 yards out and looks to be losing the ball on the edge of the penalty area only for Harry Kane to come out of nowhere to pull the trigger.

Kane's effort goes inches wide..
