England have made history by winning a World Cup penalty shootout for the first ever time.

Eric Dier’s deciding spot-kick has confirmed the line-up for the tournament’s quarter-finals - which begin on Friday July 6th.

England's reward for their dramatic late victory is a clash with Sweden on Saturday in Samara - before Croatia play hosts Russia later that evening.

Friday sees two mouth-watering clashes - as Uruguay face France before Brazil play Belgium. What a weekend lies in store.
