Most of the front and back pages show the joy and relief on the faces of England's footballers.

The Times has pictures of the delighted players sprinting from the half-way line after Eric Dier scored the decisive penalty.

Others, including the Daily Star, have photos of the players jumping on top of each other - with Harry Kane at the bottom.

"Spot On" is its headline. The Daily Mirror goes for "At Last!"

The Sun has on its back page, "It's the headline we have waited a lifetime to write: England win on penalties (Yes, Really!)"

The Daily Mirror editorial points out that bringing the group back to the surface will be difficult, but says the prominent role played by Brits in the international effort is a "boost for the whole of Britain".
