Rashford became the first Man United player to score three goals for England at a World Cup finals since Sir Bobby Charlton in 1996, when England won the tournament.

Hundreds of supporters packed the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium as millions more watched at home and around the world.

Wales suffered a crushing 2-0 loss to Iran earlier in a group game.

England did not play in the World Cup until 1950, but have entered all 18 subsequent tournaments. They last lifted the trophy back in 1966.
