These were the best jokes from England 2-2 Spain as two very late goals for the away side in the friendly tie at Wembley on Tuesday night ruined Gareth Southgate’s perfect record as caretaker manager of the national team.
The hosts failed to see the game out against a significantly under-strength Spanish squad, although the statistics appear to show that the hosts were dominated by their opponents for much of the match.
With seemingly no other suitable candidates for job, Southgate now looks set to be offered the full-time role.
Here are the best of the jokes from England 2-2 Spain, international friendly at Wembley:
Friendly international football. Does it get more exciting #ENGESP

Jesse Lingard wearing the number 10 for England, tears in my eyes, my country is in tatters

Also England fans doing the Iceland chant/clap thing minutes after doing a Mexican wave is wrong. I prefer the England fans who throw chairs

England are playing good football. Someone take Southgate out back and burn him at the stake. There is no place for witchcraft in football.

5 – That's the first time England have done the Mannequin Challenge on the pitch since they played Iceland 5 months ago. Frozen.

Judging by the way Wembley was emptying, there'll be about 40,000 people who'll get home thinking England have won 2-0. Very funny

England let it go to sh*t when it matters most. There's not much more Southgate can do to prove himself as a worthy England manager.
