England fans erupted in celebration at pubs across the country as the Three Lions stormed to a 2-0 victory in their World Cup clash against Panama. The win tonight means Thomas Tuchel's side finish top of Group L and move comfortably into the final 32, despite Tuesday's agonising draw against Ghana. Supporters threw their beers in the air when in the 62nd minute Jude Bellingham scored the opener after the first half ended goalless. And captain Harry Kane doubled the lead minutes later, a record 11th goal for England in World Cup finals matches - taking him past fellow former Tottenham Hotspur striker Gary Lineker's 10. More than 15,000 England supporters travelled to New Jersey for the match, while millions more watched the game in the UK. Three Lions legend Paul Gascoigne, who represented the team between 1988 and 1998, was seen partying at BOXPark Wembley ahead of a screening of the match. Other keen supporters donned knights costumes, St George's flags and red and white face paint to mark the occasion. Many started on the beers well ahead of the opening whistle - as an estimated 40million pints were expected to be downed at homes and in pubs tonight.
