England were tonight on the verge of qualifying for the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 after beating Sweden on a day when torrential rain played havoc with the tournament.
On a dramatic day of football where their crunch encounter was delayed by 15 minutes due to a thunder storm, Roy Hodgson's men came from 2-1 down to win 3-2 and claim a valuable win in front of 12 million who tuned in across Britain and 5,000 fans who made the trip to Kiev.
The Three Lions had their game in Kiev put back by 15 minutes following a torrential storm which delayed the other group game between France and Ukraine in Donetsk.
The memorable victory means that a draw against co-hosts Ukraine will guarantee England a passage into the Euro 2012 quarter-finals - where they could meet reigning world and European champions Spain.
