Fans react to England's World Cup first half goals against Iran

England fans had plenty to cheer about in the first half of their opening World Cup 2022 fixture against Iran.

The Three Lions scored three goals in an electric first 45 minutes, with Jude Bellingham getting the party started after a lengthy injury delay that saw Iran’s goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand forced off.

Supporters back home watching in London could be seen celebrating the 19-year-old’s opener and - as is tradition - beer was flying everywhere.

Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling added two more goals before the break as England stormed into a 3-0 lead.
