Euro 2020 Final: Italy Break England Hearts 3-2 on Penalties to Win Title
News 18Italy broke the English hearts at the Wembley with a 3-2 win on penalties to win the Euro 2020 title at the Wembley on Monday. Luke Shaw gave England the ideal start in the final as he scored the opener for the ‘home’ team at the 1 minute and 57 seconds mark to send the Wembley into frenzy. Even though Italy gained control of the midfield, they could not made a decisive move in the final third, where England held their shape and defended well. Italy started overpowering England so much that Jordan Pickford had to pull off a brilliant save against Chiesa to keep England’s lead intact. Berardi’s corner caused England trouble and even though Pickford made an initial save against Marco Verratti’s powerful header, Leonardo Bonucci was at the poacher’s position to poke the ball home.
