'OWN GOAL'

FANS who waited all night at the airport for England's Lionesses were "devastated" when they sneaked out of the back door.

Supporters including children camped out at Heathrow hoping for a glimpse of the players as they arrived back from Australia after they lost 1-0 to Spain in the World Cup Final.

Some spent more than eight hours inside Terminal 3 clutching handmade signs hailing Sarina Wiegman's stars.

They were gutted when the England team's jet touched down at 6.40am only for the players to be whisked away as their bags were wheeled past.
