England v Argentina Match Reports
England beat Argentina 27-14 at Twickenham, despite playing 75 minutes with only 14 men after Elliot Daly was sent off for making a dangerous tackle. Following the winger's sending-off, England built a 16-0 lead through three penalty kicks from Owen Farrell plus a converted penalty try. Argentina finally made their extra numbers count when they scored two tries either side of half-time to bring them within two points of England. However, two further penalty kicks from Owen Farrell plus a Jonny May try saw England pull away from Argentina and record their 12th victory under Eddie Jones.
