ENGLAND’S WORLD CUP DREAM ENDS – Three Lions miss out on a place in the World Cup final after Argentina fight back to win 2-1
England’s hopes of reaching their first World Cup final since 1966 were crushed after a dramatic late comeback saw Argentina claim a 2-1 victory in Atlanta.
The Three Lions looked to be on course for a famous win after Anthony Gordon fired England ahead in the second half. But the world champions struck twice in the closing minutes, with Enzo Fernández levelling before Lautaro Martínez scored a stoppage-time winner.
Lionel Messi played a decisive role in the comeback, providing the assist for the equaliser before delivering the cross that led to Argentina’s winning goal.
The defeat sparked disappointment among England supporters watching at fan zones across the country, while Argentina now progress to the World Cup final, where they will face Spain on Sunday.
