Kane hat trick in 6-1 rout of Panama puts England in last 16

NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia - With the country's most one-sided World Cup victory, England advanced to the last 16 with a game by spare.

Harry Kane scored a hat trick in Sunday's 6-1 rout of Panama, giving England its biggest victory margin at the World Cup in its highest-scoring game since 1966.

That previous high-scoring affair turned out well, too, with England beating Germany 4-2 to win its only World Cup title.

Four years ago, England failed to win a match at the World Cup and was eliminated in the group stage.

On Sunday, England was taking on a weaker team: A Panama side making its World Cup debut. The loss eliminated Panama and Tunisia, while putting Belgium into the round of 16.
