Italy hero Donnarumma named Euro 2020 Player of the Tournament

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been named Euro 2020's Most Outstanding Player after guiding the Azzurri to glory at Wembley Stadium.

Donnarumma, who officially became the first goalkeeper to earn the honour, made two saves in the penalty shootout in Italy's triumph over England, locking up the victory after a 1-1 draw through 120 minutes.

In total, the keeper conceded just four goals throughout the entire tournament, never letting in more than one in any game as the Azzurri triumphed just four years after World Cup qualification heartbreak.

Donnarumma and Italy emerged from a group that included Turkey, Switzerland and Wales by scoring seven goals while conceding none.
