Overview

  • England beat Panama 2-0 on Tuesday to finish top of Group L and secure a Round of 32 tie with DR Congo.
  • Jude Bellingham opened the scoring and delivered the cross for Harry Kane’s header, giving him a goal and an assist in the match.
  • Bellingham was named Player of the Match for a second consecutive game and now shares the team lead with Kane on three goal involvements at the tournament.
  • Team-mate Noni Madueke called Bellingham and Kane England’s most decisive players and described Bellingham as a world-class performer who regularly delivers on big stages.
