England fans have been celebrating into the early hours of the morning following a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sweden at Euro 2012.

Despite England taking an early lead with an Andy Carroll header off Steven Gerrard, Sweden went 2-1 up in the second half, and the match appeared all but lost.

But the three lions fought back to claim a victory with Walcott scoring shortly after coming on in the 64th minute and Welbeck netting one in the 77th, which left their supporters elated as they left the Olympic stadium at midnight local time.

Only around 5,000 England fans filled one corner of the stadium - vastly outnumbered by the 20,000 yellow-shirted Sweden fans.

Joe Hankinson, 40, from Bolton, said: "I never lost hope even when we were losing.

"It felt brilliant when the winning goal went in. What a belting game."

Manchester United fan Dave Oss said he was "jumping up and down in shock" when Danny Welbeck flicked in the decisive goal.

Chants of "we're not going home!" rang out as Three Lions fans packed city centre bars for the post-match celebrations.
