The ONLY England fan in Cardiff! Moment lone Three Lions supporter bravely celebrates goal while surrounded by disconsolate Wales fans at screening in Welsh capital

  • England fan was front and centre at packed-out fan zone in Cardiff on Tuesday

This is the hilarious moment a ‘brave’ England fan celebrated a goal against Wales at a packed-out fan zone in Cardiff last night.  

The Three Lions supporter was front and centre to view the historic ‘Battle of Britain’ clash, which ultimately ended in a stunning 3-0 victory for Gareth Southgate‘s squad. 

But despite standing alone in a sea of Dragons supporters in the heart of the Welsh capital, the female fan was not afraid to celebrate one of her countrymen’s goals. 

BBC Sport captured the moment she threw her arms up in the air in jubilation, while hundreds of Wales supporters surrounding her appeared dejected as they placed their heads in their hands and bowed their heads.

Presenter Gary Lineker said: ‘This is the reaction in Cardiff, try and spot the England fan if you can… I mean she’s very brave, really, to do that there.’

He added: ‘It’s a bit cruel showing that, maybe.’ 

Pubs across the country roared last night when the Three Lions finally broke the deadlock of the first half with a stunning freekick goal from Marcus Rashford. 

Then barely moment later they were celebrating again as Phil Foden made it two. Rashford added a third over ten minutes later. 

Brits took to social media this morning to admit feeling a bit worse for wear after celebrating last night. 

‘Head is a bit fuzzy this morning after watching and celebrating England’s win last night,’ one fan wrote on Twitter, ‘Work will drag today I can tell.’ 

Another said: ‘Hate getting up on these cold early mornings but it’s even worse when you’re hungover… but this is the punishment for stopping up late celebrating England’s win… wish I was still in bed.’

One commuter added: ‘Train is empty this morning after an England match… hangovers’, next to a laughing emoji. 

It comes as venues across the country hosting viewing events for Sunday’s Senegal clash are quickly selling out. 

The popular TalkSport fan zone immediately sold all of its Standard and Early Bird tickets last night, with only a handful of pricier options and VIP tickets remaining this morning. 

England fans were filled with optimism for their country’s chances following last night’s triumph. 

Marketing student Hermilla Emanuel, 18, said: ‘I think we will get to the semi-finals. We have a good team.

‘Jude Bellingham is my favourite player. He is my age and has a lot of skills and grew up here in Birmingham.

‘If England don’t win the World Cup, I hope it’s Portugal as I love Ronaldo and would like him to win it before he retires.’

Her friend, architecture student Gracieth Vemba, 19, added: ‘My favourite is Raheem Sterling. I feel he is a really good aspect to the team. I think we have got a chance but Brazil and France are both looking really good.’

Design manager Glenn Cook, 30, said after the result: ‘Who knows what is possible?

‘They have got a good squad. Maybe we will be swept away by a higher quality team but this World Cup has showed that there are no certainties.’
