England handed two-match punishment for unruly fans in Euro 2020 final against Italy

    England’s support in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley was, for the majority of the day, superb. But with fan clashes before the game and with the Wembley officials unable to control emotions of a section of the crowd, UEFA have issued England with a two-match ban for all competitions meaning that England’s crunch tie against Albania will now be played in front of an empty stadium.

    The Three Lions eventually lost on penalties after an enthralling 1-1 draw against Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri side over the course of 120 minutes.

    In the first final since 1966 for England, and a first ever European Championships final, the entire nation was rightly over the moon at the occasion.

    And for those with tickets, it was a chance to witness history no matter what the score was.

    However, the problem lay here as many fans battled against stewards, police and operational units in an attempt to enter the ground for free.

    UEFA noted this, and after bringing the biggest game in the continental calendar into dispute, the governing body have decided to give Gareth Southgate’s man a home match ban for their next game against Albania in November as a result.
