In a night where Wales had a slim chance to progress to the knockout stage, England came out with guns blazing to dash their hopes in a remarkable fashion. The Three Lions exhibited their ruthlessness, hitting two quick-fire goals to assume a comfortable position in the Group B finale.

With no goal being produced in the first 45 minutes, the game sprang to life just five minutes after the break thanks to Marcus Rashford's strike. The 25-year-old striker lined up behind a free-kick and hit a thunderbolt past Danny Ward for the first goal of the night and his second of the tournament. He consequently became the first Manchester United player to score three goals at a major tournament for England since Bobby Charlton at the 1966 World Cup.
