Declan Rice came back to haunt the nation that he won three senior caps for before declaring for England
England fans brutally trolled Ireland supporters as they celebrated their country's win over the Boys in Green in a Dublin pub.
Declan Rice came back to haunt the nation that he won three senior caps for before declaring for the Three Lions on Saturday as he scored the first goal in their 2-0 UEFA Nations League victory, with former Ireland youth international adding the second.
Video footage shared online shows a group of England fans chanting, "he's in your head, in your head, Declan Rice, Declan Rice, Declan Rice" to the tune of Cranberries hit 'Zombie'.

Despite giving England an early lead at the Aviva, Rice did not celebrate scoring his goal and explained the reason why after the game.
He said: “Obviously my nan and grandad on my dad’s side of the family are all Irish.
“They have obviously passed away, they are not here anymore. I think to have celebrated would have been really disrespectful of me, with them obviously not being here anymore and them being my dad’s parents.
“I didn’t want to do that, to be honest with you.
“Obviously I had such an amazing time playing for Ireland in the first-team, the 19s and 21s. I have great memories that will live with me.
“I don’t have a bad word to say, I wish them all the best, like I always do with anyone.”
