UPDATE - Euro 2020 final: Petition for Italy vs England to be replayed hits 100,000 signatures
Over 100,000 people have signed a change.org petition, demanding that
the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy be replayed, the UK Mirror reports.The Azzurris have been crowned European champions, after seeing off the Three Lions 3-2 in a penalty shoot-out.
The encounter at Wembley Stadium had ended 1-1 after 120 minutes.
A change.org petition to replay the match was started on the grounds that it apparently “was not fair at all”.
A picture of Giorgio Chiellini pulling back Bukayo Saka was used to highlight this apparent unfairness.
It is added that there were “pushes, pulls and kicks” from the victorious Italians, who – it is said – should have had “a red card for their gameplay” with the match replayed with a “non-biased” referee, presumably to give England a better chance of winning.
Over 100,000 people had signed the petition by Tuesday lunchtime.
