Twitter reacts to late drama as Germany keep World Cup hopes alive

Toni Kroos scored a last-gasp winner against Sweden to keep Germany's World Cup hopes alive on Saturday night.

The reigning champions fell behind to a brilliant goal by Ola Toivonen before Marco Reus equalised after half-time.

It looked as though Germany were heading for a draw until Kroos scored a fantastic curling free-kick right at the death.

Germany's dramatic win was, unsurprisingly, a hot topic on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: 'Sweden was playing in Kroos control. That’s what happens.'

Former Germany midfielder Michael Ballack wrote: 'A game takes 90 minutes .... sometimes a bit longer.'

Arsenal defender and Germany international Shkodran Mustafi wrote on Twitter: 'What‘s going on!? Unbelievable game. Big win boys.'

Pundit Rio Ferdinand also posted his thoughts on social media: 'Stop it @ToniKroos.'

Fellow pundit Gary Lineker wrote: 'Football is a simple game, 22 men chase the ball for 82 minutes and the Germans get a player sent off so 21 men chase the ball for 13 minutes and at the end the Germans somehow f****** win.'

The official Twitter account for La Liga wrote: 'What an amazing finish to an exciting match by our very own #LaLigaWorldCup player @ToniKroos.'

While Mesut Ozil posted a picture with Reus after the match with the caption: 'What! A! Fight! We are one team - on and off the pitch. No matter what they say.'

Singer Robbie Williams also got in the act by posting: 'I love you @ToniKroos x' on Twitter.
