Southgate: England's shoot-out failure against Italy 'totally rests with me'

The manager blamed himself after his late substitutes missed from the spot to hand the Azzurri the European Championship at Wembley

Gareth Southgate has said England's shoot-out failure in the Euro 2020 final against Italy on Sunday "totally rests with me" as he made the selections for who would take the kicks.

Substitutes Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed consecutively as the Three Lions fell just short of their first major trophy since 1966.

Saka, 19, was consoled by his manager after missing the decisive spot kick.
