Euro 2020: Heartbreak for Henderson's England after shootout loss in final

Jordan Henderson's England were beaten by Italy on penalties in the final of Euro 2020 on Sunday evening.

The Three Lions were edged out 3-2 in the Wembley shootout after the 120 minutes of action ended 1-1. 

England took the lead after two minutes through Luke Shaw but were pegged back by Leonardo Bonucci’s close-range finish midway through the second half. 

Henderson was introduced to the showpiece with 74 minutes on the clock and was then withdrawn towards the end of extra-time for Marcus Rashford, who took a spot-kick for Gareth Southgate’s side. 

The Liverpool captain made five appearances in the tournament, scoring his first goal for his country in the quarter-finals against Ukraine.
