Maguire, Stones, Shaw and Trippier shine despite Euro 2020 final penalty agony for England

Italy have beaten England 3-2 on penalties to win the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.

Luke Shaw's second-minute goal had fired the Three Lions ahead early on, but Leonardo Bonucci levelled in the second half.

There was little separating the two sides, with the game going to extra-time - and then the drama of penalties.

But it was agony for England, with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Sako missed from the spot, giving Italy the win.

Here's how Lee Ryder has rated the players.

Jordan Pickford 9

Held his nerve after the equaliser and made some important stops. Saved two penalties

Kieran Trippier 8

A big hand in the goal and a constant menace to Italy.

Kyle Walker 8

Battled away throughout.

John Stones 8

Came close to an extra time header that would have taken the roof off.

Harry Maguire 8

Booted, scrapped and cleared. On a knife-edge with yellow card.

Luke Shaw 8

Thought he might have scored the winner, But continued to work hard before going down with cramp.

Kalvin Phillips 8

An absolute star. Covered every blade of grass.

Decan Rice 7

Battled hard and ran himself into the ground. Put in six important tackles.

Mason Mount 7

A decent effort but England looked elsewhere after 99 minutes.

Raheem Sterling 8

His trickery almost found a way through.

Harry Kane 6

Led the line reasonably well but didn't have a shot.

Subs

Jordan Henderson 7

Steadied the ship.

Bukayo Saka 7

Gave Italy a headache or two.

Jack Grealish 7

The go to man when in trouble.

Marcus Rashford

Jadon Sancho
