ENGLAND fans were targeted with lasers during their clash with Greece.
The Three Lions faced a hostile atmosphere in Athens as they looked to secure a win to keep alive their hopes of winning their Nations League group.
Fans targeted England players with lasers in Greece
Several players were hit by a green light
Fans did the same when Chelsea visited Athens last month
Few England players were spared
Lee Carlsey's side got off to a quick start as Jude Bellingham linked with Noni Madueke who slid across for Ollie Watkins to score.
But moments later Bellingham and the rest of his team-mates were targeted by lasers pointed from the stands.
Bellingham and Pickford were hit in the face by the green lights, which plagued England throughout the first half.
It comes after Chelsea players also had to combat lasers in a recent trip to Greek side Panathinaikos.
Christopher Nkunku was blasted by the same green light as he stepped up to take a penalty in the Europa Conference League clash, which he scored.
England fans slammed the behaviour of those inside the stadium and condemned the use of lasers.
One fan said: "See laser pens are alive and well in Greece 🤦♂️"
Another added: "Some t*** with a laser at the England game. I hope they stand on Lego."
A third wrote: "It could blind someone."
And another commented: "Imagine being stupid enough to take a laser pen to a football match. They’ve had long enough now to find the person doing it."
Despite Greek fans' best efforts, England were able to keep their focus and earn an important win in Athens.
An own goal from keeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, followed by Curtis Jones' stunning backheel flick, in the second half saw the Three Lions win 3-0.
The result sees England take control of their Nations League group, meaning a win over Ireland on Sunday will see them promoted for Group A.
