Fans are calling Andros Townsend the 'best commentator at Euro 2024' after Croatia vs Albania

Fans are describing Andros Townsend as the best commentator of Euro 2024 after hearing him throughout Croatia versus Albania.

The thrilling Group A fixture finished 2-2, with Albania taking an early lead in the first half.

They then conceded two quick goals after half-time, but substitute Klaus Gjasula scored a dramatic 93rd-minute equaliser from inside the penalty area.

The final five minutes of stoppage time descended into pure chaos, with both teams having shots on target.

There was even time for a hilarious yellow card, with Gjasula simply dragging a Croatia attacker to the ground as he looked to run towards goal.

Plenty of the reaction on social media, meanwhile, related to Townsend, who is at Germany as a co-commentator for ITV.

The winger featured regularly for the broadcaster during the 2022 World Cup while he recovered from a serious knee injury at Everton.

He was often alongside Seb Hutchinson, with their pairing rated as one of the most entertaining and free-flowing of that tournament.

Hutchinson and Townsend took the microphone again for Croatia versus Albania - and fans loved Townsend's insights and general commentary style during the contest.

The 32-year-old is a rare phenomenon in commentary terms, as he is summarising the action whilst still an active player.

One wrote: "Andros Townsend great on co-comms, can tell he's done loads of research and tried to really learn about both teams. Really refreshing."

Another said: "Andros Townsend is the biggest breath of fresh air in commentary in recent times."

A third added: "Seb Hutchinson and Andros Townsend, take a bow for the commentary on that Croatia vs Albania game. Pure passion and chaos towards the end there from both teams, absolutely magnificent."

And a fourth said: "First time I've ever heard a co-commentator react to the final whistle by saying "Oh no!" because he didn't want the match to end. Andros Townsend speaks for us all."
