England’s WAGs celebrated with the rest of the country as the Three Lions scraped a 2-1 victory over DR Congo, thanks to two second-half goals from captain Harry Kane
England WAGs celebrated as the Three Lions beat Democratic Republic of Congo at the World Cup, sending the team through to the last 16. The victory was led by captain Harry Kane, who scored two second-half goals, including a header in the 75th minute, after being 1-0 down for the majority of the game.
With fans celebrating at home, and thousands more singing Oasis inside the Atlanta Stadium at the full time whistle, the players’ WAGs and families were also taking in the win.
Among the crowd was Harry Kane’s wife Kate and their four children, with one of their son’s seen holding up a sign. Kate looked stylish in a Toteme grey co-ord and she looked ever the proud wife as she carried the ‘Go Daddy’ signs, as well as a giant picture of Harry’s head. After the match, Harry was seen reuniting with his family in the stands and sharing a kiss with Kate.

After DR Congo took a surprise lead in the seventh minute thanks to Brian Cipenga, England looked to be heading for an early exit, before Harry scored two goals to secure the win.
