Some Manchester United fans on Twitter were delighted for club-captain Harry Maguire after scoring the winning goal in England’s 2-1 World Cup qualifier win over Poland last night.
The Three Lions took the lead through Harry Kane’s penalty in the 19th minute, but could not double their advantage before half-time with Poland showing good defensive resolve.
Before the hour mark, John Stones gifted the visitors the equaliser. His dire touch in the box gifted possession to Arkadiusz Milik, who had a simple job of passing to Jakub Moder to find the back of the net.
It appeared that Poland could get a valuable point from Wembley until Maguire stepped up with the vital winning goal. Stones redeemed himself with a superb header at the back post from a corner, before Maguire unleashed a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
Several United fans were delighted for the central defender. Here are a few reactions after the 28-year-old’s winning strike, which ensured that the Three Lions continued the perfect start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.
