Agony and ecstasy: British Muslims watch nail-biting England penalties

  • 6 years ago
These Muslim football fans from Blackburn experienced the ups and downs of England's World Cup last-16 match with Colombia last night.

Footage filmed at a home in Blackburn on July 3 shows the family with their heads in their hands after Jordan Henderson misses his shot during the deciding penalty shoot-out.

But moments later they jump with joy after Eric Dier puts his penalty in the back of the net to send England through to the quarter finals.

The images were posted on Twitter by Faz Patel MBE, who was given his title for his work on community cohesion in the UK.
