An England fan has gone viral on social media following an interview with Mail Sport after England's 2-1 win over the Netherlands. 

The Three Lions made it to their second consecutive European Championship final on Wednesday night after second-half substitute Ollie Watkins scored a dramatic late winner to spark jubilant scenes of celebration in Dortmund.  

Gareth Southgate's men had fallen behind early in the match after Xavi Simons opened the scoring, but captain Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot thanks to a controversial foul conceded by Denzel Dumfries.


And after the match, Mail Sport’s Aadam Patel interviewed sports presenter Jolie Sharpe, who delivered a message to Gareth Southgate. 

Asked what her reaction to Watkins' goal was, she said: 'I can't actually remember, there was so much beer in my face but it was amazing, bring on the final!'

Sharpe then said to Southgate: 'Keep it up. Block out the haters, you're doing a good job. Keep up the hope and we'll get there.'

At the time of writing, the clip had attracted 25.5million viewers on X, formerly known as Twitter, with fans reacting positively to her message to the England boss. 

One said: 'Southgate definitely pulled the right strings with his substitutions today and they paid off in a big way.' 

Another wrote: 'Finally someone appreciating Southgate!' 

Meanwhile, a third added, 'Spot on! Well said.'

'We are all with England it’s coming Home finally', a fourth fan said reacting to Mail Sport's video. 

However, one fan didn't understand the praise for Southgate, claiming the England boss has been 'lucky'.

He said: 'Southgate hasn’t done anything spectacular for him to get praised , players individual brilliance, luck and like today referees helping them. Southgate is not HIM'.

England will seek to go one step further by winning their first major trophy since 1966 when they take on Spain in Sunday's final in Berlin.
