Football fans in Salisbury had a night to remember as fans celebrated England's semi-final win against the Netherlands.
England lined up with a similar team for the game against the Dutch on Wednesday, July 10, with Kieran Trippier retaining his position at left-back ahead of the fit-again Luke Shaw, and Marc Guehi returning in central defence alongside John Stones following his suspension for the quarter-final game against Switzerland.
Fans gathered in pubs and bars across the city, and country, to cheer the team on, but would have been disappointed early on when a loose touch from Declan Rice allowed Xavi Simons to steal in before rifling a drive past Jordan Pickford.

However, the Three Lions were not deterred and, after a contentious penalty call, Harry Kane slammed home the equaliser from the spot just 11 minutes later.
The game was a tense affair with the Netherlands looking sharp and fast on the break, and England putting in one of their better performances of the Euro campaign so far.

The game looked to be heading to extra time when substitute Ollie Watkins, subbed on for Harry Kane, collected a pass on the run from fellow sub Cole Palmer, before setting himself and smashing the ball into the far left corner.
