Strong performance from England
After that grueling Colombia match England manager Gareth Southgate will be happy his side advanced without too much trouble from a Sweden side that only threatened a handful of times. Most of the attacking and defending quality came from his side and Raheem Sterling could have easily added another goal with more composed finishing.
