It’s a historic night – but it ends in agony as England lose Euro final on penalties

July 11, 2021

It’s an agonising end for football fans in West Norfolk as they watched England lose the European Championship final on penalties.

Supporters flocked to venues across the area again this evening as Gareth Southgate’s side face Italy in the Euro 2020 showpiece at Wembley.

And it was a dream start as the unlikely figure of Luke Shaw gave the home side an early lead.

But the match went to extra time after Italy dominated the second period with Leonardo Borucci bundling home their leveller.

And England had three of their spot kicks saved after the extra 30 minutes failed to produce a winner.
