Leonardo Bonucci, Italy Defeat Greece 3-0 in Euro 2020 Qualifier

Italy beat Greece 3-0 in Group J qualification for the 2020 UEFA European Championship on Saturday.

It was a comprehensive display by the visiting side as the Italians dominated proceedings in the first half.

Nicolo Barella benefited from excellent work by Andrea Belotti, slotting home the opener from the striker's low cross after 23 minutes.

The goal knocked the wind out of Greece, and Italy capitalised in style as they stretched their advantage.

Lorenzo Insigne and Leonardo Bonucci quickly added further strikes to make it 3-0 at the interval, and there was no way back for the hosts.
