Heads were held in hands as 20-year-old Mikkel Damsgaard blasted a free kick over the wall and past Pickford to break England’s clean sheet in the 30th minute.

But within seconds, the punters at the Milton Arms were back cheering on the men in white.

Celebrations were so enthusiastic at the pub that punters watching outside accidentally managed to trip the electrics, turning off the telly in the beer garden for five minutes.
