Ivan Perisic equalised in the 68th minute with Croatia looking the most likely side to break the deadlock as the match headed for extra-time.
The first period of extra-time passed without any scoring but four minutes into the second period of extra-time Mario Mandzukic took advantage of sloppy defending to slam a low shot across Jordan Pickford into the net.
Despite four minutes of added time England didn’t force a save out of the Croatian keeper with twitter erupting with sarcastic coming home tweets when the final whistle blew
England can now look forward to the third place play-off against Belgium on Saturday as Croatia prepare for their first ever World Cup Final.
