England Beats Italy, Secures Euro 2024 Ticket

October 18, 2023

England booked their place in the Euro 2024 tournament on Tuesday night following their emphatic 3-1 win over Italy at the Wembley stadium with two games to spare.

England went down when former West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca fired home the ball from close range after 15 minutes of action.

The game was another testament to the rising profile of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham who had another masterclass on Tuesday night.

Bellingham provided the assist for the second goal (both by Harry Kane,) and was overall very dangerous drawing fouls from the opponents.

Gareth Southgate’s side only needed a point to secure their place and it briefly looked like it was not coming.

Bellingham was England’s starman once more as the 20-year-old Real Madrid star led the comeback, winning the penalty that brought captain Harry Kane’s equaliser.

Kane scored his 60th goal after Bellingham ran through and was fouled by Giovanni di Lorenzo after 32 minutes.

England are now top of Group C with a total of 16 points, while the defeat means Italy are third and will play Ukraine in their final qualifier in what will be a decisive match to determine who finishes second.
