ENGLAND were forced to dig deep to amass their 11th consecutive victory, with Max Ojomoh instrumental in Argentina's 27-23 defeat at Allianz Stadium.

A first autumn clean sweep since 2021 hung in the balance until the final whistle as images of the Pumas’ stunning fightback against Scotland a week earlier raced through English minds.

The 17-0 lead built inside 25 minutes was frittered away as tension gripped Twickenham. But, to continue a theme of the campaign, Steve Borthwick’s men found a way to get over the line.

Henry Slade struck in the 65th minute to calm the nerves with a try that was set up by man-of-the-match Ojomoh, the two-cap inside centre who created another for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and also crossed himself.
