Wembley Stadium will be remembered not for what England did on the hallowed field, but for what was done to England by Italy.

The match statistics tell the story as the Azzurri had 66% possession and 19 shots to England’s six.

England has never beaten Italy in a major tournament, and the team hasn’t won a major trophy since claiming the World Cup in 1966.

Meanwhile, Italy’s unbeaten streak spans more than 2 years and is one victory short of the record shared by Brazil and Spain.
