Jesse Lingard and his mum have shared an emotional reunion at the World Cup.
Lingard created Dele Alli's goal as England booked a first semi-final appearance since 1990 by beating Sweden 2-0.
The Manchester United midfielder went viral on social media with a doctored snap after England squeezed past Colombia in the last round.
"No mum, I'm not coming home," Lingard posted on Twitter alongside the image.

"Because I said to my mum we ain't coming home she came here," Lingard wrote on Instagram, referencing 1996 hit Three Lions.
