VIDEO: England penalty takers were my call - Southgate

England faced Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley on Sunday. Gareth Southgate's men got off to a dream start as Luke Shaw gave England the lead inside two minutes. The hosts were the much better team for the first 30 minutes, but then Italy picked up. Leonardo Bonucci equalised for Italy midway through the second half and Roberto Mancini's side looked more the likely to win. There were no goals in extra time and the game went to penalties. 

Harry Kane and Harry Maguire scored England's first two spot kicks while Andrea Belotti saw his penalty saved after Domenico Berardi had scored Italy's first, but things went downhill for England from then on. Leonardo Bonucci scored for Italy, but Marcus Rashford's spot kick hit the post and the Federico Bernardeschi put Italy 3-2 up. Jadon Sancho saw his penalty saved by Donnarumma and that gave Jorginho a penalty to win it, but Pickford denied him. However, Bukayo Saka failed to convert England's fifth penalty and Italy won 3-2 on penalties.

After the game, Gareth Southgate spoke to the media and he revealed that he decided on the penalty takers. He also refused to criticise them for missing and said that England had an excelllent tournament overall. Have a listen to his comments in the video above!
