Intro:
Fan reaction after England beat Sweden 3-2 on Friday.
Script:
They may have been heavily outnumbered on the streets of Kiev, but England fans sang long into the night as they celebrated their side's 3-2 victory over Sweden at the European Championships.
A 78th minute winner from Danny Welbeck takes Roy Hodgson's men onto four points in Group D and know that a draw against co hosts Ukraine on Tuesday will be enough to see them progress to the quarter finals of the competition.
Fans left the stadium in high spirits following the victory, with all eyes now turning to the match in three days time.
SOUNDBITE (English), Aly Hisstock,England fan
"It is a very good result, a very good game of football but England deserved to win 3-2. England played the best football"
It was a much more somber exit for the large contingent of Swedish fans who have now lost both of their matches and are unable to reach the knock out stages. They play group leaders France in their final match.
