Lingard, then placed in a curling shot from outside the box in the 36th minute helping his team with the third goal. In the 40th minute, John Stones once again scored with a header. In the extra time, Stones was manhandled by Fidel Escobar inside the box which led to another penalty for England.

16:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live updates of the match between England and Panama.
The first media storm of a hitherto relaxed campaign for the Three Lions was brewing on Friday after Gareth Southgate's planned team was inadvertently revealed when assistant manager Steve Holland's notes were photographed at training on Thursday. According to the notes, Marcus Rashford will replace Sterling with Ruben Loftus-Cheek stepping in for Dele Alli, who suffered a thigh injury against Tunisia.
Southgate criticised the media for giving England's opponents an upper hand. "If we were to give the opposition the opportunity of having our team it's a disadvantage to us," said Southgate. "So of course our media has to decide if they want to help the team or not." In contrast to his 23-goal season at club level for Premier League champions Manchester City, Sterling now hasn't scored in his last 21 internationals.
However, Rashford refuted suggestions England are too dependent on Kane for goals. "I don't think that's happening in this group," said the Manchester United striker, who admitted to being an admirer of Kane's ability to be in the right place at the right time. He gets himself in great positons. If we can find him, we will, and, more often than not, he's going to score."
