England have won their crucial Euro 2004 clash against Switzerland 3-0.
Wayne Rooney gave Becks' boys a dream start on 23 minutes.
But a laboured, lacklustre performance had millions across the country of the edge of their seats.
It wasn't until Rooney added to his tally after 75 minutes that nerves were finally eased.
Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard secured victory seven minutes later against the Swiss, who were reduced to 10 men after defender Bernt Haas was sent off after second bookable offence.
England needed to win to have a realistic chance of progressing to the second round.
All eyes are now tonight's Croatia v France game. A French victory would mean England would only need to draw on Monday to proceed.
An English victory would secure qualification
