The moments football supporters went wild in Manchester as England score three goals in triumphant victory against Wales

Video clips have captured all of the moments that football supporters went wild at a Manchester fan zone during the Wales V England match on Tuesday night (November 29). England claimed victory, winning 3-0 against the neighbouring country, sending fans into a manic frenzy.

Thousands crammed into the Road to Victory fan park, the biggest in Europe, at Depot Mayfield on Tuesday night to watch the match. The atmosphere was electric, as up to 6,000 fans had their eyes firmly glued on the mammoth 140sq metre screens.

The Manchester Evening News spent the evening at fan park, capturing all the reaction from England fans and the mass eruption following three terrific goals against Wales.

The two home nations met for their final group B fixture on Tuesday, with hordes of fans having made the trip to Qatar and millions more cheering and watching on back home.

The first half ended with a score of nil to either team following some extra time. Following a huge roar at kick off, reactions of sheer devastation were captured throughout the first 45 minutes - it wasn't too promising.

But shortly into the second half, England quickly picked up pace, with two quick-fire goals blowing Wales away in just a matter of minutes. Marcus Rashford delivered the first in a magnificent strike, as drinks were thrust into the air and arms waved frantically overhead in his hometown of Manchester... more than 3,000 miles away from the pitch in Qatar.

It was a euphoric night for Manchester, as City midfielder Foden scored the second goal just two minutes later, again sending fans from his hometown into overdrive before they had even caught their breath from local lad Rashford's impressive performance.

And 68 minutes into the game, Manchester United forward Rashford continued his streak, bagging his second goal of the game, taking England into a 3-0 victory. There were similar scenes again at Depot Mayfield, with cheers and screams echoing around the fan park.

Fans in Manchester danced and sang in joyous celebration to 'Football's Coming Home Again' to finish of the night on an electric high.
