England beat Portugal 1-0 on Thursday night thanks to a Chris Smalling goal… you heard.
Although our boy Jack Wilshere didn’t start, he did come on in the 66th minutes, 20 minutes before the Manchester United man scored the headed goal, which Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling assisted.
Wilsh got the pre-assist and was therefore crucial in the run-up to the goal.

Joking aside, the substitution and Jack’s subsequent performance caused Twitter to rally behind the midfielder, insisting that he’s one of our best and standing by Roy Hodgson’s decision to bring him to Euro 2016.
