England Overcomes Early Deficit to Secure Euro 2024 Berth
England staged a remarkable comeback at Wembley Stadium, defeating Italy 3-1 and securing their spot in the Euro 2024 tournament. Despite requiring only a draw to qualify, Gareth Southgate's team found themselves trailing early due to Gianluca Scamacca's opening goal. However, captain Harry Kane spearheaded England's resurgence, converting a penalty and adding a second goal after Marcus Rashford's breakaway strike.
Kane's goal-scoring prowess once again proved invaluable, raising his international tally to 61. However, Jude Bellingham emerged as the match's true hero, earning the penalty that led to the equalizer and then showcasing a remarkable burst of speed to set up Rashford's goal.
With this victory, England now sits atop Group C with 16 points, three ahead of second-placed Ukraine, guaranteeing their participation in next summer's tournament in Germany.
