Harry Kane put Gareth Southgate's side in front on the 57-minute mark after converting from the spot having been brought to the deck inside the Colombian box.
From there, England went on to dominate the game and looked set for a first knockout win at the World Cup since 2006.
But a late Yerry Mina header, struck in the dying minutes of injury time, forced the game to extra-time. A nervous 30 minutes ensued, with both sides unable to find a breakthrough.
The dreaded penalty shootout followed, but Southgate's men defied the ghosts of their past to claim a first knockout win at the World Cup since 2006.
