England lost the Euro 2020 final to Italy after resorting to a longer ball approach in the second-half resulting in a dramatic drop in possession, according to a UEFA technical report.
The report, written by a team of technical experts which included the likes of West Ham manager David Moyes, gave a detailed analysis of the whole tournament, particularly the final.
It noted that the statistics in the second-half showed the 'change of tide' in the match with England's ball possession dropping to 35 per cent - their lowest of the tournament - and their passing accuracy decreasing with one in four going astray.
