SNOOKER world champion Kyren Wilson hilariously potted balls and poured a pint of Guinness without looking in a nod to England striker Ivan Toney.

Brentford striker Toney, 28, went viral for his spot kick technique in the Three Lions' penalty shoot-out victory over Switzerland after he did not look at the ball once when stepping up to convert from 12 yards.

Following the furore around it, Toney then starred in and England video this week in which he performed a number of tasks without looking.

They included playing Connect Four, darts, basketball and reading a book.

Now reigning Crucible champion Wilson, 32, has taken inspiration from that ahead of England's semi-final with Netherlands on Wednesday evening.

The Englishman put chalk on his cue and potted two balls while looking at the camera as England's famous "Three Lions" song played over the top.

He then wrote the number four on a whiteboard to complete "#WC24", referencing his Crucible victory earlier this year.

And he finished the video by pouring a no-look pint of Guinness.

Alongside the clip, he added the caption: "Practising hard before the @england game tonight! @ivantoney1 style 👀."

And some of Wilson's 61,000 followers were loving the Toney-influenced content.
