England vs Greece LIVE: Nations League Result & Fan Reactions
The Three Lions roared back to life in the Nations League, securing a vital 2-1 victory over Greece at Wembley. After a disappointing draw against Ukraine in their opener, England needed a win to keep their hopes of topping Group A alive. And boy, did they deliver!
A Late Show at Wembley
The match started with a sense of frustration as England struggled to break down a well-organized Greek defense. The first half was a stalemate, with both sides lacking the cutting edge in the final third. However, the second half saw a dramatic shift in momentum.
England finally found the breakthrough in the 58th minute thanks to a stunning free-kick from Harry Kane. The captain's strike sent Wembley into a frenzy, but Greece responded almost immediately with a powerful header from Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
The game looked destined for a draw until Marcus Rashford, who had been a constant menace down the left flank, secured the winner in the 85th minute. His goal was a perfect example of his clinical finishing, slotting the ball past the Greek keeper with a precise shot.
Fan Reactions: Excitement & Relief
The final whistle sparked a wave of jubilation among England supporters. Social media was awash with reactions, ranging from ecstatic celebrations to sighs of relief. Here are a few highlights:
- "Finally, a win! Rashford is on fire! #ThreeLions #NationsLeague" - @EnglandFan123

- "Thank god for that win! Still a lot of work to do, but this is a step in the right direction. #England" - @LionsDen
Looking Ahead
While the victory was a welcome boost for England, there's still a long way to go in the Nations League. The Three Lions face a crucial clash against Italy in Naples next week, followed by a home fixture against Ukraine.
The win against Greece has given Gareth Southgate's team a much-needed confidence boost. If they can build on this performance, they'll be well-placed to secure a top-two finish in the group and qualify for the next stage of the competition.
