'Hero' Harry Kane sends England through to last 16

Kane scores late winner as England overcome DR Congo to reach last 16

England's captain and superstar striker Harry Kane scored twice to send his team through to the last 16 of the World Cup in Atlanta on Wednesday night.

But fans were biting their nails during a super-nervy match.

The Three Lions didn't make it a comfortable victory, needing to come from 1-0 down after DR Congo scored in the seventh minute.

It took a hydration break, three substitutes and 75 minutes for England to finally create some magic.

But Harry Kane, with some help from Anthony Gordon, scored two important goals to send England through.

Next up is Mexico on Monday at 01:00 BST.... Yep - that's one o'clock in the morning.

Captain Harry Kane said he had his "hero moment" after scoring his two goals.

DR Congo put on an impressive and organised performance, with Brian Cipenga scoring early in the match.

Their goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi made some superb saves to keep his team in the game.

But England seemed to return after the second hydration break in the second half with more determination and fighting spirit.

Kane's header from Gordon's looping cross finally gave the England fans in the Atlanta Stadium something to sing about.

The skipper's second goal in the 86th minute was something special.

He collected the ball on the edge of the box and with a slick bit of footwork, set his body ready to unleash a thunderous strike into the top of Mpasi's net.

The fans in the stadium, and at home, went wild.

"I remember being a kid and watching England growing up, watching the World Cup and dreaming of being here one day," Harry said.

"I try not to forget that when I'm walking onto the pitch. I try and be the best version of myself. I know there are millions of boys and girls around the world watching a tournament like this.

"Whenever I'm on that pitch I try and do my best for the country."

'That was a rocket' - Kane puts England ahead late on against DR Congo

England now have to face co-hosts Mexico in their national stadium in Mexico City - the Azteca.

The challenge won't just be facing a hugely passionate home crowd, but the stadium also sits at 7,200ft above sea level.

For comparison, Wembley Stadium is at 144 feet above sea level.

At this altitude, the air is thinner and less oxygen is taken into the bloodstream, which makes it harder for athletes to keep up their normal pace and catch their breath.

The Mexican team are much more used to this atmosphere and will have a significant home advantage.
