England goalkeeper Joe Hart had a nightmare performance yesterday, and Twitter didn't let him forget it. 

Hart was widely panned after he couldn't stop a tame shot by Iceland's Kolbeinn Sigthorsson from trickling over the line, sending England down 1-2 and out of Euro 2016

It was the second time Hart was blamed during the tournament, after he had conceded a long-distance Gareth Bale free-kick against Wales during the group stages. 

Football fans were soon having a go. 

 

The fact that Hart appeared in an ad for anti-dandruff shampoo at half-time just added fuel to the fire. 

 

Some fans took a cue from the UK's post-Brexit economic woes. 

 

While others opted for some infographics. 

 

Even the Portuguese got in on it. 

 

The goalkeeper took responsibility for the mistakes in post-match interviews, telling the BBC "I was to blame for two of the goals conceded at this tournament. I didn't perform."

And while the keeper has a reported £110,000-a-week contract to console himself with, you might want to spare a thought for London-based comedian Joe Hart. His only sin was to have nabbed the @joehart Twitter handle before the beleaguered goalkeeper did - and it might take him a while to pick up the pieces.
