England stars’ friends and family helped them celebrate their 3-0 win over Senegal with the lads getting up-close and personal with their WAGs in the stands after the game.
The wives and girlfriends, many donning the England shirt, went wild as they cheered on the Three Lions in Doha this evening – before embracing their footballer partners in celebration after the comfortable win.
Captain Harry Kane was pictured sharing a kiss with his wife Katie Goodland in the stands after England reached the World Cup quarter finals.
Bukayo Saka was also pictured coming together with girlfriend Tolami Benson after the incredible game.
Phil Foden’s partner Rebecca Cooke leapt up from her seat as England took the lead. Jack Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood and Jordan Pickford’s partner Megan Davison smiled and clapped even as the battle had only just begun.
Other WAGs who celebrated from the stands included Harry Maguire’s partner Fern Hawkins, Eric Dier’s fiancee Anna Modler, Declan Rice’s partner Lauren Fryer and Conor Coady’s wife Amie.
Connor Gallagher’s girlfriend Aine May as well as Georgina Irwin, partner of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale were also in attendane.
The wives and girlfriends erupted as the team finished the first half 2-0 with goals from Jordan Henderson and Kane – and again as Saka went on to score a third goal just as the second half began.
England, which reached the semifinals at the last World Cup in Russia, will now face defending champion France at Al Bayt Stadium on Saturday.

Kane hailed a ‘really good day’ for the team, saying on ITV1: ‘It was really tough, knockout games are never easy.
‘I think we’ve showed great maturity through the tournament, and 3-0 against a really good side, credit to the boys, the mentality was top from the beginning and we took our chances when they came.
‘We feel good, we’ve got good runners, good players getting forward, and it’s solid at the back, three clean sheets in a row is really important. A really good day for us.’
Regarding his goal, Kane said: ‘I had so much time, the ball just sat up nicely, the connection was perfect. I had a chance before that which I should have done better with, so it was nice to see that one go in. I’m a striker, so whenever I score I’m always happy.’
Bellingham was keen to speak about his fellow midfielder Henderson, who he said deserves respect.
The 19-year-old said: ‘It was a brilliant performance (by Henderson) today. I’ve seen some of the rubbish that was said about him playing. It’s ridiculous.
‘He’s so underrated technically, and he’s delivered again in a big game with a massive goal. I think it’s time he gets a bit of respect.’

Manager Gareth Southgate emphasised how pleased he was with ‘the ruthlessness of our execution, the way the team worked off the ball and without the ball’.
And he added: ‘In the first 25, 30 minutes, Senegal had a lot of energy, they pressed well, their shape was good, and really our best opportunities came from winning the ball from them.
‘I thought Jude and Hendo in particular were outstanding in that aspect of the game.’
Regarding the quarter-final against France, he said: ‘Outstanding team with a phenomenal tournament record, and some outstanding individuals. Without a doubt that’s a game where we have to find our highest possible level.’
The Three Lions took the lead through an unlikely source when Jordan Henderson latched onto a smart cut-back by Jude Bellingham.
Teenager Bellingham then also played a crucial role in the second, driving through the midfield before captain Harry Kane slammed home for his first goal of the tournament.
Shortly after the break, Gareth Southgate’s team extended their lead further when Bukayo Saka converted after great work from Phil Foden.
Saka’s girlfriend Tolami Benson rose to her feet as he netted and he blew kisses to her as he celebrated towards the WAGs who were seated behind the England team bench.
Meanwhile Kane’s goal, the last kick of the first half, put him just one goal behind Wayne Rooney who is England’s all time top scorer. The England captain now has 52 goals to Rooney’s 53.

Loud applause greeted the substitutions which brought England’s goal heroes Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish on to the field for the game against Senegal with the score line at 3-0.
The noise level in the cheers and applause of appreciation for Saka as he was substituted was only a little lower than had been sparked by his goal some minutes earlier. Phil Foden was also substituted.
Saka replaced Rashford in England’s starting line-up for their World Cup last-16 clash against Senegal, with Raheem Sterling unavailable due to a family matter.

The return of Saka in place of three-goal leading scorer Rashford was the only change Gareth Southgate made for the tie at Al Bayt Stadium.
Saka, who netted a brace in England’s opening 6-2 win over Iran, was rested for the final Group B game against Wales, where Rashford also scored twice in a 3-0 victory.
But England boss Southgate opted to recall the Arsenal man for the first knockout stage, with Foden and Henderson retaining their places in the side.
It was earlier revealed that Sterling would take no part in the match, however.
The Chelsea winger was expected to be among England’s substitutes but he will be absent as he deals with a family issue.
Southgate told ITV1: ‘He’s dealing with a family matter so I had quite a bit of time with him this morning but I’ve now had to pass that on to other people to help him with that.’
Asked if Sterling would remain with the squad if England progressed, Southgate added: ‘He’s going to go and deal with that matter and then we’ll have to take it from there really.’

Sterling scored in England’s win over Iran and retained his place for the goalless draw against the United States before dropping to the bench for the Wales match.
Senegal were without Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye through suspension and showed two alterations from the 2-1 win over Ecuador which saw them through to the knockout stage for the first time in 20 years.
Leicester’s Nampalys Mendy replaced Gueye with Krepin Diatta also coming in – while Chelsea pair Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly were named in the side, along with Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.
England fans admitted nerves have started to kick in as they were greeted by a carnival atmosphere of dancing Senegalese fans ahead of their crunch World Cup knockout game.
Some predicted an ‘easy’ win for the Three Lions in the round of 16 tie on Sunday, while others thought it would be a ‘tough’ match.
The 69,000-seater Al-Bayt Stadium had several thousand empty seats and hospitality boxes as Senegal kicked-off at 7pm this evening. But England supporters easily outnumbered followers of their opponents.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino was shown on the stadium screens sitting alone in a ‘VVIP’ box and was booed by sections of the crowd as he had been at previous games.
