Euro 2020 day 31: Gareth Southgate accepts blame for penalty heartbreak

:Headline: Euro 2020 day 31: Gareth Southgate accepts blame for penalty heartbreak:
The England manager urged his players to walk away from the loss 'heads held high'.

Gareth Southgate shouldered the blame after his young England side's Euro 2020 dream ended in all-too familiar penalty heartbreak in Sunday's final against Italy.

Substitutes Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all failed from the spot as the Italians prevailed 3-2 on spot-kicks after a 1-1 draw at Wembley.

Ultimately it may not have been England's night, but Shaw can take great satisfaction in joining an elite list of players from the country to have scored in a major final. Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters are the only other players on it. His early goal was also a record-breaker for a Euro final, coming after just one minute and 57 seconds.
