Late last night, with every Pommie football muttering about ‘typical bloody England’, Harry Kane nodded in the winner.
The skipper’s 91st-minute goal sparked wild celebrations, both in the stadium and back in the UK, and puts England in a decent position to progress from Group G, which also contains the mighty Belgium.
Kane had already spent much of the match being grappled WWE-style by Tunisian defenders, and his late goal probably saved the country from some serious riots in the street.
Instead, there were wild scenes of celebration. From 1:20 below, Harry’s first goal goes in:
Fans watching in Newcastle were rather chuffed with Harry’s winner:

In Plymouth, one chap decided to climb on a car bonnet. Pretty sure he’ll have a decent roastie after this dismount:
At least these guys behaved a little better with cars around:

Fans at the Lord Raglan Pub in central London didn’t seem bothered by the ‘no drinks on the pool table’ rule:
At least they know what to expect if they go all the way – look at this little beaut by the BBC:

I reckon you’re allowed to go as bonkers as you want when celebrating a World Cup win, but maybe lay off the car bonnet riding until you’re out of the group stages.
