England won a World Cup penalty shootout for the first time in their history after Eric Dier slotted away the winning spot-kick in a 4-3 win.

Yerry Mina’s 93rd minute header cancelled out Harry Kane’s opener – which also came from the spot – to take the game to extra time as the nerves grew as the shootout loomed.

The last time England had won any form of penalty shootout was against Spain at Euro ’96, where they also lost to Germany in the semi-finals with manager Gareth Southgate missing the vital spot-kick.

However, they banished those demons with the win from the spot as they booked a place in the quarter-finals – the first time they have reached that stage since 2002, when they lost to Brazil in Japan and South Korea.

Here’s how the shootout went in Moscow:

And it happened under a coach who for 22 years has taken the blame for a previous shootout loss at a major tournament.

England advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals by beating Colombia 4-3 in a shootout following a 1-1 draw Tuesday, sending Gareth Southgate running onto the field to celebrate the end of the national team's years of misfortune.

"It will never be off my back, sadly. That's something that will live with me forever," Southgate said of his 1996 shootout failure. "But today is a special moment for this team. I hope it will give belief to generations of players that follow, because they can see what is possible in life."

England will next play Sweden on Saturday in Samara. The 1966 champions have reached the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since the David Beckham era, when a golden generation exited in the last eight in 2002 and 2006.

"We have to see what is possible and not be hindered by history or the expectations," Southgate said. "I think these young players are showing that."

Eric Dier scored the decisive kick after a scrappy game went through 30 minutes of extra time, denying Colombia a second consecutive trip to the quarterfinals.

"It was a nervous one," Dier said. "I've never really been in a situation like that before."

Harry Kane scored his tournament-leading sixth goal to give England the lead with a penalty kick in the 57th minute. Colombia scrambled for an equalizer and finally got it when Yerry Mina headed in a corner in the third minute of stoppage time.

"To get knocked down at the end like we did at the end, it's difficult to come back from that," Dier said. "But we were ready for that. We were calm. We stuck to our plan."

England trailed 3-2 in the penalty shootout after Jordan Henderson's shot was saved by David Ospina, but Mateus Uribe hit the bar and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford then stopped Carlos Bacca's kick.

"I did a whole bunch of research," Pickford said. "Falcao is the only one who didn't go his way. I don't care if I'm not the biggest keeper in the world. I have the power and agility."

Pickford succeeded where Peter Shilton, David Seaman and Paul Robinson failed as the 1990, 1998 and 2006 World Cups ended in shootout losses. On top of that, England was knocked out of the 1996 European Championship semifinals and the quarterfinals in 2004 and 2012 on penalties. The country's only shootout success came earlier at Euro '96.

Southgate's penalty in the 1996 shootout at Wembley against Germany was stopped, a failure he has lived with for 22 years.

"Penalty shootouts are lot about mentality and obviously we know England in the past haven't done great," Kane said. "So, it's nice to get that one off our back and we'll have huge belief moving forward."

There was edginess from the start, with Colombia forward Juan Cuadrado and England defender Harry Maguire involved in a spat before Radamel Falcao barged into Kieran Trippier, sparking the England defender to retaliate.

Colombia nearly lost Wilmar Barrios to a red card late in the first half. But after a video review, Barrios was given a yellow for knocking his head into the chest of Jordan Henderson.

England was awarded its penalty when Kane was knocked to the ground by Carlos Sanchez.

Of his six goals, three have come from the penalty spot. He also netted England's first in the shootout.

Kane is the first England player to score in six straight appearances since Tommy Lawton in 1939.

"It's a big night for England," Kane said.

Colombia had 23 fouls and six yellow cards while England had 13 fouls and two yellows.

Still, Colombia coach Jose Pekerman wasn't happy with the English approach.

"When there are so, so many fouls and interruptions, I think that's not good," Pekerman said. "We shouldn't only look at Colombian players. People should also look at England's players."</s>World Cup: England back in the quarterfinals after shootout win

MOSCOW — In a World Cup of surprises, England provided the latest by finally winning a penalty shootout.

A long run of penalty disappointment on soccer’s biggest stage ended with a 4-3 shootout victory over Colombia on Tuesday, sending England to the quarterfinals for the first time in 12 years.

Eric Dier scored the decisive kick after a scrappy game ended in a 1-1 draw, denying Colombia a second consecutive trip to the quarterfinals.

“It was a nervous one,” Dier said. “I’ve never really been in a situation like that before.”

England next faces Sweden in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Samara. It is the furthest England has progressed in any tournament since the David Beckham era, when a golden generation of players exited the 2002 and 2006 World Cups in the last eight.

England is advancing in Russia after defending champion Germany was eliminated early and Argentina, Portugal and Spain went home in the round of 16.

Harry Kane gave England the lead with a penalty kick in the 57th minute. But as the game entered the third minute of stoppage time, Yerry Mina headed in an equalizer.

“To get knocked down at the end like we did at the end, it’s difficult to come back from that,” Dier said. “But we were ready for that. We were calm. We stuck to our plan.”

England trailed 3-2 in the penalty shootout after Jordan Henderson’s shot was saved, but Mateus Uribe hit the bar and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford then saved Carlos Bacca’s kick.

Pickford said he knew Bacca was likely to shoot to the left.

“I did a whole bunch of research,” Pickford said, his confidence sky-high. Radamel Falcao “is the only one who didn’t go his way. I don’t care if I’m not the biggest keeper in the world. I have the power and agility.”

Pickford was just 2 years old when England last won a penalty shootout, a few days older when the now-England coach Gareth Southgate missed the deciding penalty in a European Championship semifinal loss to Germany. That defeat at home was treated almost as a national trauma, as was the penalty loss to Argentina two years later.

Pickford emerged as a leading Premier League keeper only last year and made his debut for England in November. He rapidly has become part of Gareth Southgate’s new generation of English talent.

On an evening that ended with such frenetic energy, Pickford had little to do early.

Colombia was on the defensive for most of the first half and lacked bite in attack. England took the lead on Kane’s penalty and Colombia came charging back. In stoppage time, Uribe fired a stinging shot from long range and Pickford leaped to keep it out with one outstretched hand, sending it wide of the goal and cannoning into the advertising boards.

Pickford could do nothing about the subsequent corner. Colombia defender Mina rose above Harry Maguire and headed the ball off the turf and in despite Kieran Trippier’s headed clearance attempt. Extra time and penalties loomed, and fans felt the weight of those 22 years without a shootout win.

It wasn’t just England’s miserable record that seemed to stack the odds against the team. Its penalty takers lacked experience of major tournaments — though none of the penalty takers had been involved in any of those shootout losses — and had to stare down a stand packed with raucous Colombian fans.

While Colombia’s David Ospina stood taciturn, staring down England’s penalty takers, Pickford was a ball of energy. He jumped and jiggled on the line.

The joy of victory was built on self-belief, Pickford said.

“Our mind-set and mentality, we never stopped,” he said. “We knew we had this game even if it went to penalties.”</s>This is why Vardy did not take a penalty in England’s win over Colombia

It was the first time ever in a World Cup tournament that England won a penalty shootout thanks to their stars who stepped up and converted the spot kick to ensure The Three Lions booked their ticket for their clash with Sweden in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

One notable surprise was the omission of Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy as one of England’s first five penalty takers. Vardy was sen holding his groin during the shootout [Photo: Courtesy]

The 31-year-old has been a regular penalty taker and has since converted six out of seven attempts for Leicester last season.

Vardy came on as a substitute in the 88th minute just minutes before Yerry Mina equalized for Colombia to force the match to proceed to extra-time but was not among the penalty takers as Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Kieran Trippier, Jordan Henderson and Eric Dier were favoured by Gareth Southgate.

Asked about his choice of penalty takers, Southgate was quoted by Metro saying, ‘We were just making sure we had our order right.

‘We had to make a couple of changes because of injuries during the extra-time period.

‘But we knew it was a process we were in charge of and the guys executed it brilliantly.’

It appears that Vardy was among the players who picked an injury during extra-time as he was seen holding his groin during the celebrations at the end of the shootout.</s>The World Cup penalty shootout between England and Colombia

MOSCOW (AP) — England won its first ever World Cup penalty shootout to advance to the quarterfinals, beating Colombia after a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.

Here's a look at how the penalty kicks unfolded at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow:

Colombia captain Radamel Falcao won the coin toss, choose to shoot first, and took his team's first spot-kick high and straight. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford dived to his right side.

England captain Harry Kane had already scored a penalty, high and straight, in the second half to give his team the lead. This time he fired it low and hard into the bottom corner, just beyond the fingers of David Ospina diving to his right side.

Juan Cuadrado hit a rising shot to the left top corner side, high away from Pickford's dive to his right.

Substitute Marcus Rashford copied Kane, hitting the ball low and hard into the corner as Ospina again guessed correctly to his right but could not reach it.

Luis Muriel coolly hit a slow kick to the right side of the goal, wrong-footing Pickford who dived to his own right side.

The first failure due to a fantastic Ospina save. Jordan Henderson side-footed his spot-kick low toward the bottom right corner but Ospina stretched to his left and used a strong hand to push the ball away.

A miss by Mateus Uribe, striking the ball with his right foot high to the goalkeeper's left but rising too fast. The ball struck the underside of the crossbar and bounced out to safety with Pickford having dived the correct way.

Defender Kieran Trippier struck a rising spot-kick into the left corner of the net, just out of reach of Ospina's dive. The Colombia goalie again chose the correct side.

The key save by Pickford. Carlos Bacca hit a rising ball to Pickford's right, but the England 'keeper had skipped forward off his line to narrow the angle. Pickford had strong forward momentum and beat the ball away with his left hand thrust high.

For the third time a Tottenham player stepped up to face the Colombia goalkeeper who plays for north London rival Arsenal. Eric Dier placed his shot low toward the left corner, and Ospina again guessed correctly, but the outstretched fingers of his right hand could not keep the ball out.

At the fourth attempt, England defied memories of exits on penalties in 1990, 1998 and 2006, finally recording its first World Cup shootout win.

The country’s only shootout success came earlier at Euro ‘96.

With a fresh generation of players not burdened by past misery, England coach Gareth Southgate has helped to banish painful memories of his own: Missing the final kick at Euro ‘96 against Germany.

After exiting the 2014 World Cup without winning a game in the group stage, the squad has been remodeled with a youthful, more street-wise mentality by Southgate at his first major tournament as coach.

Londoners have been filmed swarming outside pubs and homes to party, with hundreds dancing and jumping in London Bridge. But just hours before streets of England were left deserted as millions of Britons were glued to televisions to watch the intense World Cup match that saw England battling - and defeating - Colombia in Russia. Amazing pictures show usually busy areas such as Mall in Westminster and Parliament Square, always swamped with locals and tourists, emptied before 7pm, when people gathered in pubs or homes to cheer for the Three Lions. Even the ever-busy Liverpool Street, one of the most important Tube and railway stations in London, was left without a living soul ahead of the game. And the M25, known for its congestion, was pictured with only a few cars on it during the rush hour. The worry of being home on time for the match even sparked a brawl on a platform at London Underground's Bank station.

Joyful snaps taken around England show the happiness of thousands after captain Harry Kane converted from the spot at the 57th minute. England was given a penalty after Colombia's Carlos Sanchez shoved Kane to the ground during a corner at 53'. Colombia's players complained against the referee's decision and surrounded him in a desperate bid to change his mind, losing almost five minutes of play. But England fans celebrations didn't last long as Colombia equalised with a header at the 93rd minute, adding 30 minutes of extra time to the match and agony to England supporters.

As the extra-time didn't change the match's result, England and Colombia headed to penalty shoot-out. Before tonight England won just one out of seven penalty shoot-outs in major competitions - but tonight it triumphed, beating Colombia 4-3. Together with Captain Kane, Dier and Pickford are the heroes of the night, as they made the difference at the shoot-out. The first five penalties were all finely taken and successful, Kane and Rashford on target for England. But Henderson almost brought England fans to a mental breakdown when he failed to score.

He struck cleanly but at a bad height and Ospina saved. Uribe hit the underside of the bar with the next attempt and Trippier buried his in response. Pickford then produced a brilliant one-handed effort to deny Bacca leaving Dier to win it. The Tottenham man did so, squeezing it low past Ospina and sparking joyous celebrations, on and off the field.

England supporters celebrated the victory around the world. Prince William, team fan and head of the Football Association (FA), led the celebrations, taking to Twitter to say: “I couldn’t be prouder of @england - a victory in a penalty shootout! "You have well and truly earned your place in the final eight of the #worldcup and you should know the whole country is right behind you for Saturday! And Grime star Stormzy was pictured in a bar in Ibiza, Spain, going wild as he celebrated England scoring.

But famous personalities weren't left alone in rejoicing for the success of their the national team. The crowd at Brighton beach went wild when the winning penalty was scored by England, jumping up and down, cheering, throwing drinks in the air and singing football songs. Scenes of utter jubilation broke out in Newcastle after the penalty shoot-out. People danced on tables and sang along to Three Lions. Jay Kumar, 55, from Northolt, west London, and his friend Johnny Rai, 59, from Hayes, west London were among the England supporters celebrating the victory of their team. Mr Kumar said: "It's unbelievable I don't know what to say.

England will now face Sweden in the quarter-finals. Colombia had so far won against Senegal and Poland. Despite putting up a fierce fight, its World Cup ended against England. In previous matches, England scored six goals against Panama, and started tonight with the same players that triumphed against Tunisia. The World Cup final will be held on Sunday, July 15 at The Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.</s>England are famously bad at penalty shootouts, but you may not have realised quite how terrible their record is, especially at the World Cup.

Missing from the spot has become synonymous with England teams in big matches, with failures etched into the memory of Three Lions fans over the last 30 years.

So just how bad is our record compared to other nations? Put simply, it is very, very bad.

England have had three penalty shootouts at World Cups – 1990, 1998 and 2006 – and have lost all three of them.

Whilst other countries (nine in total) also have 0% success rates in World Cup shootouts, none have taken part in three and lost them all.

Spain and Italy have also lost three World Cup shootouts, but they have won one each as well, giving them a 25% success rate.

Unsurprisingly, Germany are the most successful team in World Cup penalty shootouts, winning all four of those they have contested.

Demonstrating the pressure of the shootout situation, England actually have a superb record in scoring penalties during World Cup matches.

After Harry Kane scored twice from the spot against Panama, England have now scored all 10 of the penalty kicks they have been awarded during World Cup games, dating back to Tom Finney in 1958.

The story is a little better for England at European Championships because they have at least won one shootout – memorably beating Spain at Euro 96.

However, they have also lost three shootouts in Euros over the years – the 96 semi-final, 2004 and 2012, so it is still not exactly a roaring success.

England have a shootout success ratio of 25% at European Championships, with only Croatia, Sweden and Switzerland managing worse.

Across all major tournaments, England have won one of seven penalty shootouts, giving them a 14.28% success rate.
