Max Ojomoh had a day to remember when he scored a try and expertly set up two others as England survived a thrilling Argentina comeback in a 27-23 victory for their 11th successive win and a clean sweep of all four Autumn Series matches.
Bath centre Ojomoh, a late call up for his second cap on Friday, got the first try and set up the second for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso as England led 17-3 at halftime. Argentina, who came back from 21-0 down to beat Scotland 33-24 last week, fought back again to get within a point only for Ojomoh to send Henry Slade over.
Rodrigo Isgro scored for the Pumas in the 79th minute to set up a grandstand finish, only for England to mess up a Puma lineout on their own five metre line and escape.
It was England's least convincing performance of the series after wins over Australia, Fiji and New Zealand, but still marked a first sweep of four Autumn wins since Eddie Jones' first year in charge in 2016.
The game lacked the electric charge of last week's victory over the All Blacks with relentless kicking and few cohesive attacks, but it certainly provided late drama.
Meanwhile Scotland went some way to making up for disappointing losses over the last fortnight by completing their November test schedule with a one-sided 56-0 romp over Tonga at Murrayfield.
Scotland scored eight tries as Jamie Ritchie, George Turner, Max Williamson went over in first half tries and Duhan van der Merwe, Ewan Ashman (2) and George Horne (2) added five more after the break.
Fergus Burke put over five conversions and Horne added three more while Van der Merwe's try was a record 35th for Scotland.
Scotland were looking for some redemption after losing narrowly to New Zealand earlier this month, before last Sunday letting a 21-0 lead over Argentina slip to suffer another disappointing defeat.
