​Euro2016: Iceland set up England clash after dramatic Austria win

Iceland scored a dramatic injury-time winner through Arnor Ingvi Traustason to record a 2-1 success against Austria and eliminates them from the competition.

Iceland started the brighter and hit the woodwork through Johann Gudmundsson after only two minutes.

But the Icelanders soon opened their account as Jon Dadi Bodvarsson shot low past Robert Almer from close range after 18 minutes.

Austria should have equalised from the penalty spot after a foul on David Alba but Aleksandar Dragovic hit the spot kick against the goal frame.

The Austrians finally levelled when substitute Alessandro Schopf finished clinically after a mazy run and was denied a second by keeper Hannes Halldorsson.

Iceland's defence held firm against further Austrian attacks and took advantage deep into injury time with substitute Traustason breaking Austrian hearts.
