Player ratings: England secure Euro 2024 spot with 3-1 victory over Italy

England booked their place at Euro 2024 with a 3-1 comeback victory over Italy at Wembley on Tuesday evening.

Gareth Southgate's side only needed a draw to qualify but there was no guarantee a point was coming when Gianluca Scamacca fired Italy ahead early on, but the Three Lions responded well and Harry Kane's penalty - his 60th goal for England - kick-started an impressive comeback.

Marcus Rashford put England ahead early in the second half before Kane bagged his second of the game to remove any doubt about the result.

Rashford sent a free-kick fizzing over the bar after a quick start from England, but it was Italy who took the lead 15 minutes in as former West Ham United striker Scamacca poked home his first goal for his country from close range.

England's response was lively, albeit largely uninspiring, but Jude Bellingham took it upon himself to inject some quality into the game on the half-hour mark as he drove into the box and drew a foul from Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Up stepped Kane, who made no mistake from 12 yards.

Both goalkeepers were active late in the half. Gianluigi Donnarumma got down well to deny Rashford, before Jordan Pickford's stop from Destiny Udogie brought the first 45 minutes to a close.

England kept the energy up after the break and Kalvin Phillips sent a strike flying over the bar, but Rashford showed more composure as he restored his side's lead ten minutes after the restart.

Bellingham's smart touch saw him beat Italy's midfield and a delightful dummy run from the Real Madrid sensation gave Rashford the space he needed to crash the ball into the bottom corner.

A notable chorus of cheers met Jordan Henderson as he entered the game for the final 20 minutes, and the Al Ettifaq midfielder was part of the celebrations soon after as England netted their third.

Kane bullied Alessandro Bastoni and went charging through at Donnarumma, firing beyond the Italian stopper to seal England's place at Euro 2024.
