‘Saka never takes penalties’ – Bolo demands Southgate apology after England defeat

The Three Lions failed to lift the Euro trophy after falling on penalties to Italy in the final staged at Wembley Stadium

Sally Bolo believes Bukayo Saka should not have been given the opportunity to take the final penalty during England’s defeat against Italy in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.

The Three Lions failed to clinch the trophy on the final day despite a good run in the competition as they lost 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Wembley Stadium.

The 19-year-old Arsenal player was among the players who missed from the spot for England - same as Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho - and Gareth Southgate's charges could only watch on as Italy celebrated a winning the title.
