England’s WAGs thrilled as Three Lions give them 2-1 victory
Football fans were on the edge of their seats last night as Southgate’s side narrowly secured a place in the Euro 2024 quarter-final after a massive scare against Slovakia.
But no one was as thrilled as England’s WAGs who were pictured cheering in the stands at Gelsenkirchens’s 60-000 capacity Arena AufSchalke.
Annie Kilner supported Kyle Walker – only taking her eye off the ball to bottle feed their two-month-old son Rezon.
Kilner, 30, travelled from her Cheshire home with all four of the couple’s children after their marriage was rocked by the full-back’s admission to fathering a child out of wedlock with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
And friends claim she has the full backing of her fellow WAGS during the tournament, with England set to play Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday after coming from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Annie flew out via private jet with all four of her children to support Kyle and the team for the first knockout match against Slovakia.
‘They adore watching the squad, cheering on their Dad and mixing with the other families pitch side.
‘It’s what they’re used to, having grown up surrounded by the world of football and nothing will change this.
‘Knowing they’re cheering him on from the stands, alongside other members of his family, means the world to him.
‘Annie is surrounded by love from the other WAGS who admire her strength and resilience.
‘The WAGs recently pledged their support amidst the circus involving Lauryn and want Annie to know they have her and Kyle’s back.
‘They’re all a big family no matter what happens between the adults and pitch together to support the young ones amongst them.’

It is understood that the WAGS were so confident Southgate’s side would beat Slovakia that they already booked private jets for the quarter-finals.
Some of them predicted that England would win and will be flying to the team hotel in Germany from Manchester on a chartered plane in time for the match.
The WAGs have already travelled a total of 3,200 miles during the group stages.
