All-nighters, phone bans and school screenings – how you watched England’s epic win

“Text your bosses and tell them you’re not coming in.”

That was the advice from man-of-the-match Bellingham who scored two goals within two minutes in the first half.

While some industries like manufacturing and retail were less able to provide flexibility, others offered bleary-eyed fans later starts so they can catch up on sleep.

Workers at a distribution centre in Rochdale didn’t need to follow Bellingham’s advice as they watched the game while on shift.

“It’s not good for my heart, but football’s my heart,” said one worker.

Joshua Elash, who runs London-based firm MT Finance Group, allowed his staff to start work at 11:00, telling the BBC it was a “no-brainer”.

“It’s good for morale,” he added, saying it will be worth it even if Monday isn’t particularly productive.

Octopus Energy allowed engineers to start home visits a couple of hours late, while staff in office or home-based roles looking after customers can also start and finish later.

Kevin Craig, founder and chief executive of communications agency PLMR, is a huge football fan and went to see England v Panama game last weekend.

He gave his staff – around 100 employees across four offices in London, Coventry, Birmingham and Ipswich – permission to start at 12:00 if they wanted to stay up and watch Monday’s match.

“I just instinctively knew it was the right thing to do,” he told the BBC.

“We try to be pro-family alongside making money. I know it’s not possible for all organisations in the land but… these days are special.”

But it was business as usual for supermarkets Sainsbury’s and Aldi in their stores on Monday. There was also no change for the car manufacturer Nissan.
