93 mins: Into added time, four minutes of it, with Nigeria pushing for what looked for a long time like an unlikely equaliser.

It's England attacking though with Loftus-Cheek probing before lifting a lovely ball to Rose, who, sadly, is in an offside position.

That should be that.

Full-time! And that's that.

Goals from Gary Cahill and Harry Kane were enough to see England to a victory in their final game at Wembley before the World Cup.

Alex Iwobi pulled one back but it was all for nothing as the hosts ran out deserved winners.

Now on to Elland Road and Costa Rica on Thursday.
