Fans celebrate England World Cup goal at Isle of Wight festival

England are into the last-16 of the 2018 World Cup after a record-breaking win over Panama.

Harry Kane became only the third Three Lions player to net a hat-trick at the tournament as Gareth Southgate's side put their central American opponents to the sword.

John Stones also bagged a brace from a pair of set piece headers in a goal-filled first half with Jesse Lingard also firing a sublime third either side of two Kane penalties.

The captain's third came via a deflection before Panama grabbed a late consolation to record some history of their own - their first-ever World Cup goal.

England now face Belgium in Kaliningrad on Thursday with top spot in Group G on the line.
