MIRACLE in MOSCOW

Now Sweden in last eight as England finally WIN dramatic penalty shoot-out

ERIC DIER claimed he “had to score” as he buried England’s penalty hoodoo and sent a nation into wild celebration.

Jordan Pickford brilliantly saved Colombia’s final spot-kick one-handed from Carlos Bacca, leaving Dier to hold his nerve and beat David Ospina, sending England into a quarter-final with Sweden on Saturday.

And hero Dier said: “It was a nervous one. I’ve never really been in a situation like that before, but felt I had to score
