England fans say ‘get him on the plane’ after Chelsea legend scores stunning first goal at Soccer Aid

ENGLAND fans are screaming for Gareth Southgate to buy Chelsea icon Joe Cole a plane ticket for Euro 2024.

This comes after Cole, 42, nutmegged his former teammate Petr Cech inside eight minutes of Soccer Aid 2024 to put England 1-0 up.

Cole cleverly chested the ball down before brilliantly volleying the ball through the legendary Chelsea goalkeeper’s legs.

Captain Jill Scott, Arsenal coach Jack Wilshere and Jarrod Bowen’s father-in-law Danny Dyer joined Cole in rampant celebrations.

And now England fans are cheekily urging Southgate to add Cole to his Euro 2024 squad.

One fan wrote: “Get Cole on the plane!”

A second added: “JOE COLE GET YOURSELF TO THE EUROS.”

A third said: “Great finish Joe Cole!!! Rolling back the years.”

A fourth chimed in: “Get joe Cole to Germany.”

But the scoreline did not last long, after a fellow Chelsea legend equalised just 10 minutes later.

Eden Hazard scored a blistering low direct free-kick to level the score.

And to make matters worse England then conceded another just five minutes later, courtesy of former Italian striker Alessandro Del Piero.

But The Three Lions, managed by Frank Lampard and Robbie Williams eventually ran out 6-3 winners.
