England have started their Euro 2016 Championship qualifying opener campaign with an impressive 2-0 victory over Switzerland on Monday night in Basel.
Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck scored twice – the first goal comes in the 59th-minute and then added a second in stoppage time.
Here are the best twitter reactions from football stars on this wonderful victory.
This is why I’ve been excited by the Welbeck signing. He’s got pace & power – and if he plays centre-forward he’ll score buckets of goals.

England arguably could have won 4-0 tonight and the Swiss couldn’t have felt aggrieved.

Good performance from the boys, yes Switzerland were pretty poor but step in the right direction. Delph decent, is Wilshere fully fit?

A very decent start to the qualifying campaign. I’ll be reviewing the game with @reid6peter & Bryan Robson @soccerex tomorrow #EngvSwi

Good result that for England. The Swiss really fancied they’d beat us too!

Well done to the lads- it’s always up/down with Eng to the extremes but I hope you can see that this is a young squad with potential to grow
