England avoided early disappointment at the start of the second half, with keeper Jordan Pickford making a fine save, tipping a Germany's Havertz piledriver over his crossbar.

With England struggling to open up Germany's defence, crowds erupted when Garath Southgate turned to his bench to bring on Jack Grealish.

In the 75th minute, Raheem Sterling struck again for England, putting the Three Lions u by 1-0.

Harry Kane finally scored for the first time in the tournament, scoring a second goal for England with five minutes remaining.

Southgate, now managing the national team, reacted with his customary composure as his side went ahead.
