Sweden 0-2 England: Post-match reaction from players and pundits

The Three Lions are in their first World Cup semi-final since 1990 - and are now 5/2 to win the World Cup in Russia.

Days after laying their penalty ghosts to rest against Colombia, Gareth Southgate's men diligently went about their job in Samara to continue this extraordinary summer and bring the fantasy of replicating the heroes of 1966 closer to reality.

Croatia or hosts Russia now await in just England's third-ever World Cup semi-final, with headers either side of half-time by Maguire and Alli securing a comfortable quarter-final win against surprise package Sweden.

Here is a selection of reaction from both players and pundits.

Former England captain Alan Shearer lauded England's "professional" and "thorough" performance.

Shearer said on BBC One: "Amazing. What a performance. Professional, thorough. Every single player played their part.

"Pickford was outstanding in goal when he had to be. I thought Harry Maguire was superb, Henderson... what a shift he put in in midfield. John Stones, Dele got his goal. All of them were absolutely magnificent and thoroughly deserved it.

"Their attitude from the very first moment they arrived at this World Cup to now has been first-class and I didn't ever feel anything other than we are going to win this game, we are going to get to a semi-final. I never felt nervous at all during the game and that is how comfortable they made us feel."

England's tally of 11 goals equals that set at the 1966 World Cup, which they won as hosts.

Harry Kane, who leads the race for the 2018 Golden Boot with six goals, is determined not to get carried away.

He said on BBC One: "We know there is still a big game ahead with the semi-final, but we are feeling good and confident. We just have to go again, keep doing what we are doing and make the country proud."
