Euro 2024: Kane Shines As England Thrash Italy 3-1

England produced a scintillating comeback to beat Italy 3-1 at Wembley and secure their place at Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate’s side, which needed only a point to qualify for next summer’s tournament, fell behind to Gianluca Scamacca’s early opener, but captain Harry Kane led the response, converting a penalty and then scoring a clinical second after a breakaway strike from Marcus Rashford.

England were again indebted to Kane’s goalscoring heroics as he took his international tally to 61, but Jude Bellingham was the real star, winning the penalty for the equaliser, then producing a sensational burst of pace to set up Rashford for the second.

Skysport reports that the victory puts England on 16 points in Group C, three ahead of second-placed Ukraine, and guarantees their advance to next summer’s tournament in Germany in top spot.

Reigning European champions Italy, meanwhile, now risk missing out on a second consecutive major tournament, the defeat leaving them on 10 points, three behind Ukraine, albeit having played one game less.

Italy came into the game to a backdrop of disarray, with Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo having been withdrawn from the squad as part of an investigation into illegal betting.

Luciano Spalletti described that episode as “traumatic” for his squad, but they looked unaffected in the early stages, soaking up England’s pressure then cutting through them for the opener.

The goal was well-worked as Destiny Udogie and Stephan El Shaarawy combined to launch the attack and Scamacca capitalised on slack England marking to dispatch his first Italy goal.
Italy’s incisive attacking play contrasted with England’s more ponderous approach but when the hosts did manage to force an opening, it resulted in their penalty, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo lunging in on Bellingham and the decision rightly upheld by VAR.

Kane dispatched the spot kick coolly to restore parity and England had a chance to go ahead soon afterwards when the striker expertly took down Jordan Pickford’s long kick and fed Rashford, whose low, angled shot was parried by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

England almost conceded a second in first-half stoppage time, however, when Udogie’s low effort, following intricate build-up play, forced a low, one-handed save from the alert Pickford.

That chance was another warning sign to the hosts but they emerged from the break with far greater urgency to their play as Phillips fired over from Phil Foden’s lay-off before Rashford put them in front.

It was a dazzling goal, the move starting deep in England territory as Foden fed Bellingham, who charged through the heart of Italy’s defence in sensational style before finding Rashford. The Manchester United forward then cut inside and buried a low finish.
