If, like me, you'd rather look at someone else's holiday photos than watch England play, then you'll take great enjoyment in averting your gaze from Jordan Henderson and co forget how to string two passes together and watching San Marino score an equaliser against Norway, tonight.
Trailing 1-0 against the Norwegians, the perennial walkovers could barely believe it when Mattia Stefanelli smashed home an equaliser, prompting scenes of unbridled jubilation which will hopefully result in a national holiday being declared:

The national team's social media team were pretty muted in their celebrations, though:
WE FUCKING SCORED AN AWAY GOAL. STEFANELLI YOU FUCKING LEGEND!

While the Norwegians were naturally none too impressed

Stefanelli's strike was San Marino's first goal away from home in World Cup qualifying since 2001. Even Bayern Munich joined in the celebrations:

Well in, lads. Off to buy myself a San Marino shirt with Stefanelli on the back, as we speak.
