Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how UEFA body who are the people in charge of European Football activities have been told clearly by an England fan in a petition that the EURO final between England and Italy should be replayed.

Italians are currently celebrating winning the EURO 2020 title after beating England on penalties in the final in which Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka lost the decisive kick.

But before going in penalties, an incident occurred in the injury time when Bukayo Saka was attacking with the ball at full speed before being brought down by Giorgio Chiellini.

Fans at the stadium were at the top of their voices shouting that the Italy captain should be sent off, but the referee only gave the Juventus star a yellow card.
