It took 18 minutes for Jesse Lingard to open the scoring in England v Andorra. The striker took advantage of a poor clearance in the box and left-footed past the visiting goalkeeper. The United player paid homage to Cristiano by celebrating in his own style.

England got off to a good start against Andorra at Wembley. The 'Three Lions' did not take the lead until the 18th minute thanks to Lingard's goal.

The striker, who started the scoring move, took advantage of a poor clearance from an opponent inside the box and crossed with his left foot. It was his first goal for his country in more than three years.

He had last scored for England on 11th July 2018, in their match against Croatia.

The player's joy was normal and he did not hesitate to go to the touchline to celebrate. The funny thing is that he did it as Cristiano, his team-mate at United, usually does, with the famous jump and the 'Siuuu'.
