Everyone appropriately lost their minds at the Lions' late game-changer
That was a turn-up for the books...
New Zealand were beaten 21-24 by the Lions, thanks to a last-minute (ish) penalty by Owen Farrell.
The comeback took just about everyone by surprise, with the odds on the Lions to lose being higher than anyone involved in a two-horse race should be expecting.
Even with Sonny Bill Williams' sending off after a particularly nasty challenge, things still weren't looking particularly hopeful for the Lions, but with a great performance by the team - with a special shout out to Conor Murray for getting that try right at the end - they managed to turn things around just in time!
Appropriately, the internet lost it's collective mind:
Lorde, Sam Neil, Keith Urban, Peter Jackson, em, Russell Crowe, em, Flight of the Conchords... Your boys took ONE HELL of a beating#NZLvBIL

The Lions win a British game in British weather in a city named after the greatest Anglo-Irishman of all time

You have to love any sporting event that offers up the option of beer before breakfast. Well done Lions. Decider!#NZLvBIL

The 'they only won because 14 man team' thing isn't a fair call. Isn't part of the sport not doing dumb shit & getting sent off? #NZLvBIL
