Ollie Watkins’ goal against the Netherlands is even better with Alan Partridge doing the commentary
A last-minute goal by Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins sent England into the final of the Euros. If you’re one of the handful of remaining people who haven’t seen it, you can remedy that here – if you want to.
Obsessed with this clip of Ollie Watkins after he scored his goal yesterday, I keep watching it on repeat
He almost looks scared by how euphoric and unbelievably amazing that goal was, he’s completely overwhelmed in the best way #ENGNED pic.twitter.com/qAd9qo5pe0

Fans have been raving about his shot, and his ecstatic reaction to it.
“How many times have you watched the Ollie Watkins goal?”

I can’t get over the joy on Ollie Watkins’ face in this.
I know it’s a cliche etc etc but that moment is what every boy and girl dream about when they first fall in love with football. Scoring a winner for your country with 89:59 on the clock. Magic.

That completely un-choreographed, wild eyed, complete disbelief of a celebration from Ollie Watkins is one of my fave England celebrations ever.
Just looked completely overwhelmed.
What a goal as well. pic.twitter.com/Yd8tutZRN3

Incredibly, there was one thing that could make it better – however unlikely that may seem. Check this out.

Hats off to the wonderful @mrdavemacleod for adding the classic The Day Today moment to the quarter-final footage.

One day someone is going to do this in an actual match commentary and at that point we might as well just cancel the football forever. It'll be done. https://t.co/NIUL0el7LK

Alan Partridge was a criminally underrated football reporter in our opinion. Good he's getting another run out. https://t.co/GiaHDhZ2tg

Best of all, the co-creator of Alan Partridge, the great Armando Iannucci, gave it his seal of approval.
Dave, thank you for your service https://t.co/HPuNvbw7Km

We’d say that’s a new level unlocked. It would be rude not to share the Partridge original, so here it is.
