Anthony Gordon has praised England's spirit of togetherness following their 2-1 victory over DR Congo in the round of 32 at the FIFA World Cup 2026, played in Atlanta.

The winger spoke warmly about the collective character within the squad, crediting the unity among the players as a driving force behind the result.

Gordon's enthusiasm was evident throughout the match — he was reportedly celebrating before Harry Kane had even finished converting the winning goal, such was the belief running through the England camp.

Kane's decisive strike sealed England's passage into the next round of the tournament, continuing their progress at the FIFA World Cup 2026 on American soil.

The victory underlines the sense of confidence building within Gareth Southgate's — or whichever manager's — setup, with players feeding off each other's energy as the stakes grow higher in the knockout stages.
