Harry Kane scores!

In what can only be described as the dream scenario for England fans, the Three Lions are 4-0 up against Ukraine – and, honestly, people are almost finding it too much to handle.

Harry Kane scored in the third minute after Raheem Sterling superbly slipped the skipper behind the Ukrainian backline to direct past Georgiy Bushchan.

The second goal came within minutes of the second half whistle as Harry Maguire headed the ball into the back of the net.

Minutes later, before fans had barely had the chance to compute the scoreline, Kane scored his second goal. Then, in the 62nd minute, Jordan Henderson made it four.

The scoreline has left fans understandably ecstatic.

Here are some of the best reactions, starting with Kane’s early goal that got everyone excited...

Although, for some, it was almost a TOO good start, with supporters admitting they weren’t used to feeling so, umm, relaxed about a crunch football game involving England, so soon after the first whistle:

And other fans bemoaned the fact that they’d hardly had time to settle down for the game...

Others said they couldn’t think about celebrating until England scored at least another goal. Soon after Kane put England in front, the term “please England” was trending on Twitter as fans begged the team for a second...

But, luckily, fans’ pleas were answered early in the second half – and they were very happy.

By the time it got to the fourth goal, everything just felt totally surreal:

Is it coming home? Fans are convinced...

We’ll just have to hope they’re right.
