England's Euro 2016 humiliation vs. Iceland tops UK Twitter list

England's exit from Euro 2016 at the hands of Iceland was the UK's most tweeted-about sporting moment of the year, figures released figures by Twitter's "#ThisHappened" reveal.

Roy Hodgson's side crashed out of the tournament to the minnows when goals from Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson sent them to one of the most humiliating defeats in English football history.

The match sent social media users into a frenzy in the UK, with a record 128,000 tweets-per-minute -- 21,000 more than when Leicester clinched the Premier League title after Tottenham's draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
