Football fans turned out in force across Liverpool on Wednesday evening (July 1) to cheer on England as the Three Lions booked their place in the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel's side faced DR Congo in their Round of 32 clash, which kicked off at 5pm at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. England went into the knockout tie among the favourites to lift the trophy after topping their group. They secured their place in the next round with a hard-fought 2-1 victory.

Supporters packed pubs and bars across Merseyside to watch the action unfold, with the ECHO joining fans at BOXPARK Liverpool in the Baltic Triangle to soak up the atmosphere.

From nervous moments to jubilant celebrations at the final whistle, we captured supporters enjoying the occasion in the photo gallery below.
