David Beckham was celebrating after winning a bet against Sweden’s record goalscorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic over the outcome.
As a result, the Swede will have to buy the former England captain dinner at a restaurant of his choice.
Bill Bailey correctly predicted the outcome of the game with the help of his pet ‘chicken of destiny’.
The comedian posted a video on Twitter showing the bird faced with England and Sweden flags – and waddling over to the former.
Bailey promised: ‘More predictions will follow! Other animals may be involved! Well done England! The chicken has spoken.’
Several celebrities, including BBC presenter Jeremy Vine, shared a tweet wrongly attributed to goalscorer Harry Maguire, which read: ‘Just spent four hours putting together a flatpack f****** desk lamp. I will seek vengeance on the nation of Sweden, in this life or the next.’
The tweet was supposedly posted in 2016, but Maguire only signed up to Twitter last year.
