Luke shaw with the fastest goal ever in Euros! Wow!
Kieran Trippier and Luke Shaw combine to fire England ahead.
This is the first time Italy have conceded first in a game since September 2020, a run of 18 matches without falling behind has been ended.
Incredible.
Luke Shaw is the first ever Manchester United player to score in a European Championship final.
Manchester’s finest.
