At Boxpark in Wembley, north London, supporters were dejected.

England fans were open-mouthed as an added time goal from Lautaro Martinez put Argentina in the lead in Atlanta.

The joyous mood after Anthony Gordon put the Three Lions ahead in their World Cup semi-final just 10 minutes into the second half came crashing down as Enzo Fernandez equalised 85 minutes in and soured even further when Martinez put Argentina in the lead in the 92nd minute.
