- Harry Kane scored twice in the closing stages as England came from behind to beat DR Congo 2-1, avoiding a shock World Cup exit and booking a Round of 16 clash with co-hosts Mexico.
Harry Kane scored two dramatic late goals to rescue England from a humiliating FIFA World Cup exit, as the Three Lions came from behind to defeat DR Congo 2-1 in their Round of 32 clash.
The African side stunned England early in the game through Brian Cipenga, leaving Thomas Tuchel’s men staring at one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
With time running out, England captain Harry Kane stepped up when it mattered most. The Bayern Munich striker headed home the equaliser before firing in a brilliant winner from a tight angle to complete the comeback and send England into the Round of 16.
The victory keeps England’s World Cup dream alive, although the performance raised fresh questions after they struggled for much of the contest against the determined Congolese side.
England will now face co-hosts Mexico at the iconic Estadio Azteca, with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs.
