England's captain Harry Kane broke his goalscoring drought as England overcame Germany 2-0 in the Euro 2020 round of 16 at Wembley.
The win was England's first against Germany in a major tournament for 56 years, ending a dismal run which had seen England lose against its arch rival in several crucial big tournament matches since winning the 1966 World Cup.
Manchester City's Raheem Sterling opened the scoring in the 75th minute following a match that was largely bereft of clear cut chances.
England eventually made the breakthrough when substitute Jack Grealish fired the ball into the feet of Harry Kane who passed outwards to Luke Shaw.
The Manchester United full back crossed along the floor into the feet of Sterling who slotted home into an empty net.
The hosts then doubled their lead with four minutes of time to go as Grealish crossed to find the head of Kane. The Tottenham Hotspur striker headed into the net past a helpless Manuel Neuer.
It was a cagey game throughout with neither side willing to push too many men forward but the first chance fell to Germany's Timo Werner when he was played in by his Chelsea teammate Kai Havertz. However England's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was quick off his line to save the resulting shot.
England's captain Harry Kane missed a golden opportunity in the final seconds of the first half when the ball bounced kindly to him in the Germany box. However a poor first touch allowed the German defense to clear.
The second half started in the same manner before Sterling scored allowing England to control the game. Kane's goal ensured it would be England going through to the quarter finals.
