June 29, 2021, marked a significant day in the European Championship as England defeated their arch-rivals Germany 2-0 at Wembley. The win propelled England into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
England's Raheem Sterling opened the scoring in the 75th minute after a well-worked move involving Luke Shaw. Sterling tapped in the ball from the edge of the six-yard box, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Just 11 minutes later, England's Harry Kane sealed the win with a header in the 86th minute. Substitute Jack Grealish provided the assist, crossing the ball into the box for Kane to nod home past Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Earlier in the match, England's Jordan Pickford made crucial saves, including a stinging volley from Kai Havertz. Mats Hummels also denied Kane with a last-ditch clearance just before halftime.
England will now face either Sweden or Ukraine, who meet in the final last-16 match later on Tuesday in Glasgow.
