Beat John Stones to Harry Kane’s ball which curled dangerously towards the Italian goal. An unbelievable performance in the shootout – a generational goalkeeper.

  • Giovanni Di Lorenzo 5 - A nervous start saw the right-back unconvincing on the ball while leaving enormous amounts of space down his flank early on. Whatever advice the defender received at the break seemed to work.

  • Giorgio Chiellini 5 -. The captain was too narrow at times during the first half and this pulled Italy’s fullbacks in with him. Mancini’s side looked much more assured in the second half. A strong block denied Raheem Sterling from cutting back on his right foot.

Terrific save but then struggled to get near Bonucci’s scruffy, easy, equaliser. Saved from Belotti. Did his part in the penalties.

  • Luke Shaw – 8. Goal, two minutes. What a time to score your first goal for England – a measured controlled finish on the bounce which kissed the post. Played just 59 minutes for England between 2015 and March 2021. Didn't feature in 61 of England's 63 games in that time. Perfectly timed runs all night. Sensational at the start, then back to the wall in a one-sided second half.

Italy v England player ratings: Donnarumma 10, Jorginho 7; Shaw 8, Kane 7

Italy won their second European Championships title after edging a tense penalty shootout over England at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

After 90 minutes and extra time ended 1-1 - with Leonardo Bonucci's second half goal cancelling out Luke Shaw's second-minute strike - the teams went to the penalty spot to decide the winners of Euro 2020.

England took the early advantage in the shootout when Jordan Pickford saved Andrea Belotti's effort either side of successful shots from Harry Kane and Harry Maguire. But three successive misses from Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka handed Italy the victory for their first European title since 1968.

For England the wait goes on for another major international trophy after reaching a first final since their one and only title at the 1966 World Cup.

Assessing the performances at Wembley, Andy Mitten and Adam Brown have provided the player ratings for England and Italy respectively in the photo gallery above.
