Ed Sheeran endures a whirlwind of emotions as England battle back from an early scare to beat Slovakia 2-1 in a nail-biting last-16 tie in Germany


The singer, who had previously been spotted in the stands during their 1-1 draw against Denmark, was in high spirits as he joined fans for the crucial knockout match.

There were early clashes and a flurry of yellow cards at the Arena AufSchalke, after manager Gareth Southgate made one change to his starting XI following last Tuesday's underwhelming goalless draw with Slovenia. Supporters have been thronging into the German city today and calling for Southgate's team to play without fear and silence critics with a thumping victory - while back home in England bars and fan parks are brimming with excitement, and expats tuned in from holiday resorts such as Magaluf in Spain. Tolami Benson, the 23-year-old girlfriend of Bukayo Saka, has been dubbed a 'low-key' WAG who doesn't even follow her boyfriend on social media - but since the tournament began the glamorous PR executive has stolen the show among fans.
