English midfielder, Dele Alli, treated the Fortnite and England fans with his famous ‘Fortnight celebration.’

After Harry Maguire opened the scoring in the 30th minute at the Samara Arena on Saturday, Alli doubled the lead after the break as Gareth Southgate's young squad continued to defy dampened pre-tournament expectations with another confident display.

 

England were almost made to pay straight after the interval and would have been pegged back if Pickford had not produced a top-drawer save to keep out a Berg header. The killer blow, however, arrived in the 59th minute as Jesse Lingard's teasing cross into the box was met by Alli unmarked at the far post to head powerfully past Olsen.

Alli celebrated his goal once again doing the Fortnite dance. The 22-year-old stood with his hands in the air and swiveled side to side while stamping his feet after he netted the superb header a few minutes after the second half began.

 

 

 

England had not kept a clean sheet in their four previous matches and had their goalkeeper Pickford to thank for ensuring they did not concede this time. The keeper saved superbly from Viktor Claesson before tipping a shot from Berg over the bar and that was enough to ensure Swedish hopes of reaching their first semi-final since 1994 were dashed.

England defeated Sweden 2-0 in the quarter-final and the win will always be remembered for a funny fact. Out of the 23 players of the English squad, at least 17 were not born on the previous occasion England reached the semifinals (1 July 1990) in the FIFA World Cup.
