Nina Farooqi had, alongside her friend, won last minutes free tickets to see the game but she allegedly pulled a sickie just to attend the match.

The 37-year-old claimed she felt she would not be allowed to attend the historic event due to work being short-staffed.

She then called in sick and joined lunchtime train from Leeds to London Kings Cross, before heading to Wembley, SunSport gathered.

Farooqi, who was sitting behind the goal, even appeared on TV presenter Stacey Dooley's Instagram story, something she excitedly shared with friends.
