Gareth Southgate shouted at England fans in celebration after their 2-1 win over the Netherlands on Wednesday night.
The Three Lions have booked their place in the final of Euro 2024 after a dramatic victory in Dortmund, with Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins scoring after an early goal from Xavi Simons.
Southgate has faced plenty of criticism at the tournament so far.
He infamously had cups thrown in his direction after England's 1-1 draw with Denmark last month, with the 53-year-old having to contend with a tidal wave of negativity.
