It was a boozy night of celebrations for England's Lionesses after winning their first European Championship - and it proved to be a real eye-opener for manager Sarina Wiegman.
The Dutchwoman's side came out on top against the Germans during a thrilling final at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Sunday night.
Ella Toone came off the bench to break the stalemate with a cracking opener, but a German equaliser took the game to extra time and left English fans fearing more years of hurt. But the crowd erupted when Chloe Kelly scored her first international goal in the 110th minute and this time there would be no answer from the opposition.
After their heroics on the pitch and some celebrations with the fans, the England players headed back to the dressing room for some singing and break dancing. They even interrupted their manager's post-match press conference by storming the room and belting out a joyful chorus of Three Lions.
England boss Wiegman has lifted the lid on their night of partying - and confessed it wasn't what she was expecting.
"(It was) crazy. Lots of music, lots of dancing. English people can drink," she told LionessesLive.
"A little bit too much alcohol, I think. But that's OK. We enjoyed it. When you have these accomplishments, it's really good to have a party."

Toone, who scored the game's opening goal in the second half, shared a video of her singing and flashing her winner's medal on Instagram.
While Captain Leah Williamson filmed her teammates dancing around the Euro 2022 trophy, which took pride of place on the floor in the middle of the changing room, while they sang along to River Deep Mountain High by Ike and Tina Turner and Everytime We Touch by Cascada.
When asked how she felt after last night's celebrations, Williamson admitted: "A little bit rough, but alright."
Goalkeeper Mary Earps. who pulled off some important saves in the nail-biting final, danced on the table during Wiegman's press conference on Sunday night.
Explaining her decision, the Manchester United keeper told Lionesses Live: "I saw my moment. I saw my opportunity. I took it. I felt like it was the perfect moment to get on a table.
"If you can't get on a table after you're the European champion, when can you?"
The players looked bleary-eyed and bushy tailed as they emerged from their hotel this morning - but showed no signs that the party was over.
They are ready to celebrate with their fans - with 7,000 people flooding into Trafalgar Square to catch a glimpse of their Euro 2022 champions.
Supporters are draped in flags which simply read "home" and Wiegman and her players are due on stage after midday.
Flags were waving and chants were already beginning well over two hours before those in attendance were even going to get a glimpse of the European champions.
Wiegman and all the players are set to be awarded the Freedom of the City following their efforts at Euro 2022.
The Lionesses were awarded the Freedom of the City thanks to nominations from Lord Mayor of the City of London, Vincent Keaveny, and chair of the City of London Corporation’s civic affairs sub-committee, Edward Lord OBE.
