England v Argentina LIVE: Result and reaction from Rugby World Cup 2023 as England win despite red card

Another one!

After gaining territory through driving runs from Jamie Georgo, Maro Itoje and Ben Earl England work the ball to George Ford who boots a third drop goal over the sticks and puts his team nine points ahead now.

Clinical stuff from Steve Borthwick’s fly-half.

Drop goal attempt from Argentina. England’s defence is frustrating the Pumas so they decide to take a leaf out of George Ford’s book but the accuracy isn’t there and the effort goes wide.

Oh my! George Ford belts a drop goal effort from 50 metres out and smokes it right down the middle. That’s a lovely kick and England move slightly further ahead in this tense encounter!

England win a penalty and decide to kick from 60 metres. Elliot Daly fancies this one and goes for it but doesn’t get enough curl on the ball.

It also lands half a metre or so short of the target but England chase it down brilliantly and recover the ball.

England and World Cup drop goals. It’s a match made in heaven. A Manu Tuilagi drive gains England more territory inside Argentina’s half and before the ball is whipped back to George Ford.

He goes for the drop goal right in front of the posts and kicks the ball over the crossbar to send England back into the lead.

Turnover!

Courtney Lawes comes over the top to recover the ball and forces a knock on from Francisco Gomez Kodela. England win the penalty and kick it into touch to earn territory and ease the pressure on their defence.

Wonderful stuff from the captain.

Argentina’s repeated drives result in Thomas Gallo getting over the line for a suspected try. The referee isn’t convinced and asks the TMO to check for a knock on in the build-up.

The decision goes England’s way but it’s Argentina’s ball after a foul in the build-up. The pressure is still on.

Pablo Matera steals the ball for Argentina and turns it over.

The ball is flung over to Santi Carreras who boots from the 50 into England’s 22 and earns Argentina a lineout right on the edge of England’s goal line.

This is going to take a lot of effort from England to keep the Pumas at bay now.

England work the ball well with Alex Mitchell releasing it quickly to create some space on the line. George Ford sends it to Ben Earl who attempts a kick down the right wing for Jonny May but asks too much of the winger who has no chance of reaching the loose ball.

Santi Carreras is a lucky man. His yellow card hasn’t been upgraded and Argentina are now back to their full contingent of 15. This is going to be a slog for England now.

Here’s the incident that led to that Tom Curry yellow card being upgraded to red that means England are down to 14 men for the rest of the match
