Euro 2020: Jorginho escapes red card despite stamp on Jack Grealish's knee

Italy midfielder Jorginho could count himself lucky to remain on the pitch after a horrible tackle on Jack Grealish in extra time the Euro 2020 final.

With the game deep into extra time, England were mounting pressure on Roberto Mancini's side when Grealish and Jorginho both competed for a loose ball.

The Aston Villa playmaker slid in to take the ball, while Jorginho looked to take the ball off his toes. But he instead slipped on the ball and stamped fiercely on Grealish's knee, who was left howling in pain.
