England comfortably beat Sweden 2-0 in their World Cup Russia 2018 quarter-final clash at the Samara Arena on Saturday.
Gareth Southgate’s side march on in the competition after headers from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli secured the victory, although goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was also called upon to make some crucial saves.
After a result that was rarely in doubt, with a now very excited nation in tow, here are the best tweets and jokes after Sweden 0-2 England in the World Cup quarter-final:
Jordan Pickford is so going to be the face of a bank's saving account range after this tournament #ENGSWE #SWEENG

The date is Oct 24th, 2018. 100 days since football came home. Sir Harry Kane now lives in Buckingham Palace. Harry Maguire’s column has been erected in Trafalgar Square. Pickford is on the new £50 note. Gareth Southgate is the new host of The Great British Bake Off. #ENGSWE
