The Three Lions hit six goals in a match at a second consecutive World Cup, following on from their 6-1 trouncing of Panama at the 2018 finals in Russia.
Grealish had come off the bench at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar to tap home England’s sixth goal of the game in the 90th minute, which he celebrated with a jaunty jig.
But the cheeky dance routine isn’t a trademark of Grealish’s, nor is it a tribute to former England striker Daniel Sturridge, who pulls off a similar move whenever he hits the back of the net.
