Captain Harry Kane told the Lions' Den podcast that the first impromptu singalong was one of his "favourite ever moments in an England shirt".

His old teammate and now BBC Sport pundit Joe Hart said after the DR Congo game that such "phenomenal" moments of unity allow players to "drop the mask, just for a few minutes, of being an elite professional".

While traditional England anthems including Three Lions, Vindaloo, World in Motion, as well as Sweet Caroline - the accidental breakout hit from Euro 2020 - have still been heard in pubs around the country, Wonderwall appears to be the song of the summer so far.

The number two hit, taken from Oasis's all-conquering 1995 album (What's the Story) Morning Glory, re-entered the UK top 40 singles chart last week as a result of the initial viral moment. And on Friday it shot up from number 32 to 11.
