Iceland pulled off one of the greatest shocks in European Championship history when they recovered to beat England 2-1 in their last 16 clash and will now face hosts France in the quarter-finals.
England got off to a dream start when Raheem Sterling was brought down by goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson and Wayne Rooney confidently thumped home the penalty in the fourth minute.
Ragnar Sigurdsson equalised within two minutes for Iceland, turning the ball in at the far post after Aron Gunnarson's massive throw-in was headed into his path by Kari Arnason.

Iceland then went ahead in the 18th minute when an intricate exchange of passes on the edge of the area ended with Kolbeinn Sigthorsson scoring with a low shot that goalkeeper Joe Hart got a hand to but could not stop from rolling into the net.
Shell-shocked England never recovered and slumped to one of the most embarrassing defeats in their football history.
England coach Roy Hodgson announced he has resigned following the defeat.

"My contract is up after the Euros, so now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of players," Hodgson said in a statement.
"They have been fantastic, and have done everything that has been asked of them.
"When I arrived, I was told that players didn't turn up to play for their country, or that they'd pull out at the last minute.
"I've not seen any of that, these players love to play for their country, and their commitment has been unquestioned.
"Ray [Lewington] and Gary [Neville] arrived with me, and leave with me. I'd like to thank them for their dedicated support, and for the major part they've played in our team preparation."
