England vs DR Congo LIVE: Reaction as Harry Kane double saves Three Lions from humiliating World Cup exit

“Still things to work on. These rounds are about going through. This one and the next one, the next one, away in Mexico – against Mexico – we have to grind wins out.

“I told the boys to enjoy [full time]; sometimes as an England player, games you’re expected to win, you don’t celebrate as you should.

“We’re the same as every other nation, we’re through, but enjoy it – we’re at the World Cup.

“We’re fighting for every moment and little margin. I want the boys to enjoy it, enjoy the moment with the fans, and we go again in four days.

“We spoke after the Croatia game, the subs making an impact, keeping the level higher. Over 90 minutes we’re tough to handle. Pleased for everyone involved, let’s keep it going.”

Kane: “It feel amazing to be honest, what a crazy game against a tough team, organised team.

“After that first hydration break, I thought we upped the level. Their keeper made some amazing saves.

“It was about… keep pounding the rock. Just keep pounding the rock.

“We spoke about how you can have hero moments, it can be any one of us. It could be Pickers [Pickford] making a save. For me, it was today.

“When you get to knockout football, the pressure is higher, the risk is higher.

“From an attacking point of view, it was probably our best game of the tournament so far.

“It’s just about getting through; this one and the next one are difficult for different reasons.”

Sucked in by Chancel Mbemba’s floated ball and failed to make contact, even if he had to cover to make up for his fellow defenders shuffling over too much, but then he struggled with Cipenga one-on-one in a tough afternoon’s work.

Passionate and irritated by his team’s start, he covered plenty of ground and almost equalised twice with powerful headers. Once again, he drove England on in the second half, with his control and power leading to a good Mpasi-Nzau save before Kane picked up the pieces, via Anthony Gordon, to give England the lead.

Next up for England is Mexico at the Azteca in Mexico City, where Mexico have almost never lost – nothing to worry about, then…

They are a dangerous team most of the time, anyway.

That genuinely could be the end of the road for England, but for now, enjoy this victory! It was very hard fought.

England vs Mexico will take place at 1am BST on Monday.

86 mins: Kane scores again.

That was a horrible experience. Please not again, England.

IT’S OVER, ENGLAND SURVIVE.

That was… I don’t even have the words. It was a test for us watching, mentally, and it was a test for England, physically.

Credit to Congo, but England are through – just – to the last 16.

Harry Kane at the double, and Mexico await… in Mexico City…

90+6 mins: Wissa will take it.

It’s over the bar! But not by much!

90+6 mins: Wissa has a bit of time on the ball outside the England box, and Bellingham barrels into the back of him, giving Congo a free kick.

That could have been a second yellow card for Bellingham, by the way.

Dangerous position here, anyway. And we’re at the end of the 96 minutes.

90+5 mins: Anderson tries to keep the ball by the corner flag in the Congo half, but he knocks it out for a throw-in.

Congo work it over to the right, then back to the left. England are maintaining a decent shape for now.

A long ball is pumped up to Elia, but England deal with it.
