It had to be him poker
At a ground where his great mate George Ford had produced one of the special individual World Cup performances just weeks ago, Owen Farrell fashioned his own version of a Marseille masterpiece, silencing the critics with a 20-point tally and his best showing in an England shirt for years poker
And how England needed their captain poker
This was eventually an incredibly tight game against a valiant Fiji, so nearly victorious after summoning a second-half comeback seemingly from nowhere poker
It may have lacked the pure accuracy and ingenuity of Ireland vs New Zealand, but this was a compelling contest all the same, played with a hellacious physicality throughout poker
At various stages, England looked to be roaring into the semi-finals but found a 14-point second-half lead eroded quickly by a fabulous Fijian fightback, Levani Botia and Semi Radradra threatening to bend the game to their will poker
Certainly neither deserves to be exiting the World Cup at this stage poker
But, in the end, it was Farrell with the final word, as fate dictated poker
If the fly half had played more consistently like this in an England shirt, there would not even be a debate at 10 – though this was an excellent time to return to full form, leading his team into a second successive tournament semi-final poker

They cannot afford to have this sort of second-half sag again in their semi-final, when they will need an 80-minute effort poker
But onwards they go into the final four poker
A crowd heavy with England fans brought down the boos when Farrell’s name was read out before kick-off; starting full back Marcus Smith and the benched George Ford, by contrast, the loudest of cheers poker
It left Farrell with a point to prove and he soon warmed to his work, England’s attack in the first 20 minutes far poker better than anything they had produced thus far at this tournament poker
He may pack a punch, but the fly half was still afforded his own protection detail, Ellis Genge taking the heavy midfield contacts as Fiji tried Farrell’s channel from their first two lineout opportunities poker
The prop and Ollie Chessum then led an outstanding defensive set as the Fijians toiled just inside the England half, a couple of thumping tackles allowing Courtney Lawes to secure a breakdown penalty poker
Elliot Daly kicked down into the opposition 22 and a breakdown penalty allowed Farrell a simple opening three points poker
Manu Tuilagi powered over for England’s first try (Getty)England had won their opener here handsomely without requiring a try; this time, the line was crossed early poker
A foolish barge on a chasing Daly prompted a return to advanced territory, with a Farrell flick sending Manu Tuilagi bowling around the corner to skittle the Fijian edge defence poker
Frank Lomani missed his first penalty and although he ensured the second went over, Farrell and England were fizzing poker
An ugly head-on-head collision poker between Vinaya Habosi and Smith saw England’s No 15 depart with a bloody face and the Fiji wing exit after the showing of a yellow card, though that proved only a temporary interruption of flow on another fluid movement down into Fiji’s 22 poker
A few more phases of accurate handling allowed Joe Marchant to dummy and dart to the line poker
England were 15-3 up and flying, but Fiji’s 14 men lifted the ferocity, forcing their opponents into a couple of rash moments and silly penalties poker
Then, England switched off entirely, crying for a knock-on as Fiji fumbled inside the 22 poker
A skilful pass poker between the legs found Viliame Mata in space 10 metres out, and the agile No 8 high-stepped his way over poker
A nasty clash poker between Marcus Smith and Vinaya Habosi saw both exit the field (Getty)Habosi returned from the sin bin and a patched-up Smith soon after, watching on as Farrell struck twice from the right to extend his side’s advantage before half time poker
The interval did not help the game, the percussion ensemble losing the beat within bestrewn ruck clutter poker
Fiji, who had won two breakdown penalties earlier on, increasingly drew Mathieu Raynal’s whistle; Farrell directed a fourth penalty poker between the uprights poker
So much of Fiji’s development has been built on the extra depth at their disposal, the Fijian Drua so helpful in that regard poker
A raft of representatives from the Super Rugby Pacific franchise arrived off the bench and made an immediate impact, the extra zip offered by replacement scrum half Simione Kuruvoli key to a passage that ended with replacement prop Peni Ravai punching over poker
A few minutes later, Fiji were improbably level poker
Radradra, stepping in at first receiver having earlier made one astonishing break up the left touchline, attacked the English inside defence, piercing his arms free poker
Isoa Nasilasila was on hand to collect, the lock striding into space and sending Vilimoni Botitu, growing by the minute in only his fourth-ever start at fly half in the absence of Caleb Muntz and Teti Tela, over the line, with Kuruvoli’s conversion levelling the scores poker
Owen Farrell inspired his England side to glory (Getty)Farrell re-seized control, taking a page out of good friend Ford’s book by slotting a drop goal poker
A fifth penalty of the evening, won after a surge up the centre from Earl, pushed England six points in front poker
There was one last moment of drama, with the England captain inevitably at the centre poker
Out thrust a left hand on halfway as Radradra arrived on to a pass into space, the action deemed a deliberate knock-on but not enough for a yellow card poker
England’s 15 held firm, Courtney Lawes winning a final breakdown penalty poker
Fiji’s fightback had been most magnificent but it wasn’t quite enough poker

Celtic fans held Palestine flags aloft ahead of their Uefa Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night poker
The build-up to the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw despite the hosts taking the lead twice, had been dominated by internal and external strife poker
Thousands of Celtic fans defied the club’s guidance before kick-off by displaying Palestine flags, an act which is likely to lead to sanctions from Uefa, who has previously applied disciplinary action against the Scottish giants, including a £8,600 fine in 2016 for displaying Palestine flags in a game against Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva poker
Uefa’s Rule 16 poker
2 states that club's are responsible for fan behaviour and disciplinary procedures may occur if a political message is displayed, with Barcelona and Celtic previously fined for showing national flags that Uefa deemed to have sent a political message poker
Atletico’s decision to dispense with their striped shirts and wear an all-red top based on the one worn by the team that beat Celtic in the 1974 European Cup semi-finals also opened old wounds poker
The Green Brigade, an ultra supporter group at Celtic Park, had previously said they would hand out flags ahead of the match, and the group has already been banned from away games after displaying the same flags at other recent matches, the BBC has reported poker

Ahead of the fixture, the club announced the players and staff would wear black armbands as a show of respect for all those affected by the conflict and would make a contribution to the red cross poker
But the club also asked that “banners, flags and symbols relating to the conflict and those countries involved in it are not displayed at Celtic Park at this time poker
”The Green Brigade believes poker football fans have the right to express political beliefs poker
Celtic fans have previously shown their support for Palestine, and in 2014 the club was fined after fans waved flags during a match against Iceland’s KR Reykjavik, and again during a 2016 qualifier against an Israeli team poker

Celtic have an Israel winger, Liel Abada, who is currently out of the matchday squads with injury, but it adds another dimension to the actions of the fans poker
