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.
