Shaw gives England second minute lead in final!

England took less than 120 seconds to take the lead in the Euro 2020 final. They did so on the counter after Italy had been gifted a corner. 

Southgate won the ball back and broke rapidly. Sterling gave the ball to Mount and he gave it to Kane in midfield. The Tottenham striker, far from slowing down the attack, sent the ball to the right where Trippier was. 

The Atletico Madrid full-back, the newcomer into the England XI, lifted his head and put the ball to the far post where Kane was. 

The Italy defence focusse on Kane and Luke Shaw was all on his own. Luke Shaw hit home on the half-volley to give England the lead at Wembley.
