For England, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho played penalty shots, but 19-year-old Bukayo Saka’s shot failed and Britain lost the first major international event since the 1966 World Cup.

Shortly after Italy’s victory, all three England players began to face racial bias on social media.

The Football Association of England issued a statement condemning the racist behaviour on social media.

London police, on the other hand, called the incident “unacceptable” and said they would investigate “aggressive and racist” social media posts.

In addition, London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on social media companies to take further steps to hold the accused accountable.

He said on Twitter, “there is absolutely no place for racism in football or anywhere else. Those responsible for the disgusting online abuse we have seen must be held accountable – and social media companies need to act immediately to remove and prevent this hate.”
