Argentina set new World Cup scoring record

Argentina beat Switzerland and booked a place in the last four, but the night also brought a World Cup record.

Lionel Scaloni's side have now scored at least two goals in 12 consecutive World Cup matches, moving clear of Uruguay's previous mark of 11 straight games between 1930 and 1954.

The run underlines Argentina's attacking form as they advance through the knockout rounds. Supporters will now look to the semi-final, where Argentina face England.

England reached the last four after eliminating Norway, setting up a meeting between two of the tournament's strongest teams.
