England roared back from an 12 early deficit to beat the All Blacks for only the ninth time in their 120-year rivalry and claim the greatest win of coach Steve Borthwick's three-year reign.
It is the first time the All Blacks had lost to England at Twickenham since 2012, and just their ninth defeat, going down 33–19.
No one will be feeling it more than All Blacks coach Scott Robertson and his captain Scott Barrett, as they stared into the gloom and pondered the failings of their team despite being ahead on the scoreboard.
A crowd of 81,953 came expecting the usual nail-biting conclusion of fine margins between the two sides, instead wing Tom Roebuck pounced on a loose ball and slid in for a 78th-minute try that pushed the winning margin out to two converted scores.
After Leicester Fainga'anuku and Codie Taylor crossed inside the first 20 minutes for the All Blacks, England looked like they might pay for their own inaccuracy in attack.
But they clawed their way back on the scoreboard via two George Ford drop-goals, before Sam Underhill and Fraser Dingwall's second-half tries, forward dominance and an unusually docile New Zealand attack propelled them to 25-12 lead.
All Black speedster Will Jordan's score 15 minutes from time and a Ben Earl yellow card prompted some late home nerves as their lead was cut to six points.
However, England's high-quality bench knuckled down, earned territory and, after George Ford had slotted a penalty, Roebuck went over to choruses of 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot'.
This the All Blacks’ third defeat of the year.
Looking at other results, Wales edged Japan 24–23 while South Africa beat Italy 32-14 earlier this morning.
