England face DR Congo in last 32 as Steve Clarke quits Scotland

Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane fired England to a 2-0 win over Panama on Saturday, securing top spot in Group L and a last-32 meeting with tournament debutants DR Congo. After a drab goalless first half, Bellingham broke the deadlock from close range at a corner, then turned provider by crossing for Kane to head home his second goal of the game and become England's all-time top World Cup scorer.

Thomas Tuchel's side will face DR Congo on Wednesday in Atlanta, kick-off at 17:00 BST, with the match shown live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The Africans are appearing in their first World Cup in 52 years and reached the knockout stage after drawing with Portugal and beating Uzbekistan 3-1.

England beat Panama 2-0 to win Group L and face DR Congo in the last 32, while Steve Clarke resigns as Scotland manager.
