England captain Harry Kane on Monday condemned the "vile" racial abuse, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka had to face on social media following the Three Lions` loss in the Euro Cup final against Italy.
Italy ended England`s dream to win the Euro 2020 here at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday (local time). Azzurri defeated England 3-2 on penalties after the normal 90-minute action had finished at 1-1 and even extra time was not able to break the deadlock.
