The 3-0 win means England take on France this Saturday – and they are one step closer to bringing the trophy home.
Sick days were expected to double today, on what is being dubbed as “Hangover Monday”.
As many as two million employees were expected to have called in sick, while 17million might have ditched the office to work from home, data trends from BrightHR show.
Schools were also braced for bleary-eyed kids as bedtimes went out of the window to mark the occasion.
Last night Bukayo Saka completed England’s rout when he found the back of the net after a sublime cross from Phil Foden on the left.
That followed captain Harry Kane’s first goal of the tournament on the stroke of half-time, which had put Southgate’s side firmly in control.
And Kane’s belter came just minutes after Jordan Henderson slotted home Jude Bellingham‘s cross.
Punters were out in force in pubs across the country for the crunch last-16 tie.
Newcastle’s Central Park fan zone was also rammed after filling up in the early afternoon – despite the game not kicking off until 7pm.
The beer was flowing at Boxpark Wembley and Boxpark Croydon in the capital, with One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson among the crowd.
And the Winter Gardens fan zone in Blackpool was full of flag-waving supporters who drenched each other every time a goal was slotted home.
After a fantastic night, Callumm Mathews, 26, is now convinced England can go all the way.
“We need to get past France first but if we do that, it’s definitely coming home,” the plumber, from Middlesbrough said.
Boozers were expected to sink 15 million pints, the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) estimated.
And a staggering £22million is thought to have been spent in the nation’s pubs, and up to £175m in supermarkets for matchday essentials, according to experts at vouchercodes.co.uk.
Matt Todd, who runs the Wonston Arms in the village of Wonston, Hampshire, said a successful England World Cup run is like an “early Christmas present” for small venues.
The 54-year-old, who had a difficult period during the pandemic, told MailOnline: “The World Cup is running over what would normally be our quietest weeks of the year.
“The first three England games saw our sales 320 per cent up on this time last year.
“A good cup run will mean tills ringing louder and longer for me as a publican.”
Southgate’s side bounced back from their disappointing goalless draw with the United States in Group B to thrash Wales 3-0 and qualify for the knockout stages.
Another ultimately easy 3-0 win has fans dreaming that the cup is coming home in time for Christmas, but France have been equally impressive in their progress to the quarter-finals having beaten Poland 3-1 yesterday.
