Twitter reacts as England knock Sweden out of the World Cup

The third quarter-final between England and Sweden saw The Three Lions triumph over the latter courtesy of a 2-0 scoreline.

On the half-hour mark, Harry Maguire opened the scoring for England via a powerful header after flinging himself away from Emil Forsberg. Dele Alli then doubled the lead with a header that came off as a result of Jesse Lingard's neat cross at the edge of the box.

In consequence, Gareth Southgate's side will now face either Russia or Croatia in the semi-final on 11 June 2018.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the match.
