England are in action once again following the heartbreaking loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final. Gareth Southgate’s side were close to winning the tournament for the first time but were made to suffer a penalty heartache.
Manchester United duo Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire were integral to the Three Lions’ run to the final, with the pair vital in both boxes. Shaw registered three assists and a goal in the final, whilst Maguire scored in the quarter-final against Ukraine.
The pair showcased their top form once again as Manchester United’s captain latched onto a corner from Shaw, with Maguire ultimately putting the game beyond Hungary’s reach.

The goal gave England a handsome three-goal lead after goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane had put them 2-0 up after half-time.
Jadon Sancho was expected to be involved in the game but was ruled out at the last minute due to a ‘small knock’ suffered in training.
It was a joke
