England held on for a nervy 27-23 victory over Argentina at Twickenham on Sunday, completing a clean sweep of their autumn internationals and extending their winning run to 11 matches.

The hosts led 17-3 at half-time and looked comfortable, but Argentina fought back to within a point in the second half before England closed the game out in stoppage time. It was England's fourth win from four this autumn, their first perfect autumn campaign since 2017.

Fast start at Twickenham

England made a flying start at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. Fly-half George Ford opened the scoring with a drop goal in the eighth minute, and a minute later centre Max Ojomoh collected a loose ball to dive over for the first try.

Ojomoh then turned provider, sending a well-timed cross-field kick to winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who dived over in the 25th minute. Ford added the conversion to make it 17-0.

Argentina finally got on the scoreboard through a Thomas Albornoz penalty, and England went into the break 17-3 ahead, despite a try for hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie being chalked off after officials ruled the grounding was short.

Argentina fight back

Argentina came out firing after the break. Centre Justo Piccardo powered over for their first try early in the second half, and Albornoz added the conversion to cut the gap to 17-10.

Minutes later Albornoz slotted a penalty to make it 17-13, and a further penalty from Santiago Carreras narrowed the deficit to a single point with 20 minutes remaining.

England were under real pressure, and Ford's attempted drop goal drifted wide. But the hosts regrouped, won a crucial line-out near the Argentina line, and Ojomoh's offload found Henry Slade, who crashed over. Ford converted to restore a 24-16 lead, then added a penalty.

Ojomoh stars on home debut

It was a memorable day for Ojomoh, who was named player of the match. The Bath centre scored a try and created England's other two in only his second Test, having come into the side after Fraser Dingwall pulled out with injury on Friday.

Argentina refused to give up. Wing Rodrigo Isgro scored a last-minute try, converted by Carreras, to make it 27-23 with time still left for a restart. The visitors pressed hard for the try that would have won the game, but a botched line-out in the fourth minute of stoppage time allowed England to close it out. England lock Alex Coles was shown a yellow card in the 80th minute for repeated infringements.

What it means

The win capped a strong autumn for Steve Borthwick's side. England had already beaten the All Blacks 33-19 at home before this match, and the victory over Argentina made it 11 wins in a row.

Argentina, coached by Felipe Contepomi, finished their November tour with two wins and one defeat. They had beaten Scotland 33-24 at Murrayfield and Wales 52-28 in Cardiff before arriving in London, and they pushed England all the way in a match that was in the balance until the final play.

For England, the result keeps the momentum building into the new year. For Argentina, it was a reminder of how close they are to beating one of the world's best sides away from home.
