England Thrash Italy 3-1 to Qualify for Euro 2024
England booked their ticket to Euro 2024 with a convincing 3-1 win over Italy at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday night. The visitors took the lead in the 15th minute through Gianluca Scamacca, who smashed home a cross from the right wing. However, England equalized just 18 minutes later when Harry Kane converted a penalty after Jude Bellingham was fouled in the box.
England took the lead in the 57th minute through Marcus Rashford, who finished off a brilliant counter-attacking move. And they sealed the victory in the 77th minute through Kane, who dribbled past several Italian defenders before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
Italy tried to get back into the game, but they couldn’t find a way past England’s solid defense. The victory was a major boost for England manager Gareth Southgate, who has been under pressure in recent months.
England’s Heroes
There were several standout performers for England on the night. Harry Kane was excellent, scoring two goals and providing an assist. Marcus Rashford also had a good game, scoring the winning goal.
However, the man of the match was arguably Jude Bellingham. The Real Madrid midfielder was all over the pitch, creating chances for his teammates and winning the ball back in defense.
Italy’s Disappointment
Italy will be disappointed with their performance, especially after taking the lead early on. They struggled to create chances throughout the game and were ultimately outplayed by England.
Italy manager Roberto Mancini will have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what went wrong. The Azzurri have now lost their last two games, both against England.
Conclusion
England’s victory over Italy was a major boost for Gareth Southgate and his team. It showed that England are still one of the best teams in Europe and that they are capable of beating the best teams in the world.
Italy, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance. They need to improve if they want to be successful at Euro 2024.
