Harry Kane got a hat trick as England coasted to their second win and six points in the Group G standings. This ensures they will advance to the Round of 16 regardless of the outcome of their last group match next week. With the loss, Panama will not advance past their last match next week.
England got on the board quickly and never let their foot off the gas. John Stones headed a corner kick into the bottom corner of the net in the 8th minute to get the Three Lions on the board. Harry Kane converted his first of two penalties in the 22nd minute. He'd add a second in stoppage time of the first half.
In between his penalties, Jesse Lingard tallied and John Stones took a second. Both goals were four minutes apart.
Harry Kane added a third, completing his hat trick in the 62nd minute. He was credited with the goal he deflected in from a shot by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Panama added a goal in the 78th minute. Felipe Baloy provided Panama's first FIFA World Cup goal. It was the only consolation in a total rout by England.
