Sweden 0 England 2: Maguire and Alli head Southgate's side into World Cup semi-final

Either Croatia or Russia will face Gareth Southgate's England in the World Cup semi-finals after the Three Lions beat Sweden 2-0 in Samara.

Harry Maguire and Dele Alli scored headers as England booked their place in a first World Cup semi-final since 1990 by beating Sweden 2-0.

Maguire and Alli struck either side of half-time in Samara on Saturday to move the Three Lions into the last four, and they will face either Croatia or hosts Russia on Wednesday.

England dominated after making a slow start, Maguire scoring from Ashley Young's left-wing corner after half an hour to put Gareth Southgate's side on track.
