Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane goals secure Three Lions' place as group winners

England secured their place in the round of 32 at the World Cup as Group L winners after second-half goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane were enough to get past Panama.

A cagey first half saw Panama create a couple of opportunities for themselves as Thomas Tuchel's men were frustrated, but things changed after the break.

Once again, Bellingham, playing alongside Morgan Rogers in midfield, delivered when England needed it -- holding off his man to poke home from a corner past a flatfooted Orlando Mosquera. Minutes later, Kane became England's all-time leading goalscorer at World Cups, surpassing Gary Lineker, heading in from a Bellingham cross as a nation collectively exhaled.

There was concern just after the hour mark as Jarell Quansah came off with injury for Djed Spence, compounding issues at right-back with Reece James already ruled out before kick-off.

The result means the Three Lions will take on a third-placed side in the round of 32 -- likely Congo DR or Senegal, and avoiding a side of the bracket that currently contains Portugal and Spain.
