England lose Euros on penalties
11/07/2021
England’s dreams of a Euro victory at Wembley have been crushed.
England’s dreams of an historic Euros victory in front of an exuberant home crowd have been dashed in a nail-biting penalty shootout.
Italy ended the Three Lions’ bid for glory with a 3-2 victory on penalties at Wembley in the nation’s capital, which had earlier seen ticketless fans breach security to get into the stadium.
England’s early lead, putting them 1-0 up just two minutes into the first half, was not enough to clinch victory, leaving fans devastated.
A win would have been the men’s football team’s first major tournament win since the 1966 World Cup success, which also took place at Wembley.
