How sick is this photo of Chloe Kelly?
Her shirt perfectly showing her name as she spins it around.

After the final whistle, the BBC went straight to her for a reaction – and what a reaction it was.
Chloe Kelly is every England fan right now 😂😂😂😂

Note to future would-be interviewers – at least let them get Sweet Caroline out of the way before you start asking them questions.
The sheer joy of the moment made it a highlight on a night of many highlights.

That may be the best post-match interview I've ever seen. Go mental, start singing, run off. Perfect. #Lionesses

Absolutely bloody good on Chloe Kelly for actually running off to celebrate with her team like they should have let her done all along. LOVE her! #Lionesses

Chloe Kelly running off mid-interview with the microphone because she was so desperate to sing Sweet Caroline with her teammates was just perfect.#WEURO2022 #Lionesses

Of course, both Chloe and the mic returned, and it’s well worth watching Take 2.
