The United States scored a last-gasp winner to beat Algeria and go through to the last 16 of the World Cup.

The Americans, watched on by former President Bill Clinton, dominated for large periods and created a host of chances but looked set to be denied by a mixture of the woodwork, good goalkeeping and poor finishing.

Landon Donovan got the vital winner in the second minute of injury time just as it seemed the USA were about to go out of the tournament.

The result meant they finished top of Group C, ahead of England on goal difference. Algeria were eliminated.

Donovan said: "I have been on a long journey the last four years. I'm just shocked and so proud of our guys, unbelievable. We're alive, baby."
