Italy 1-2 England: player ratings from the Euro 2024 qualifier in Naples

theguardian.com

Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) Italy’s best player during a trying first half. The goalkeeper made a fine save to deny Jude Bellingham but could do nothing about England’s goals. 6 Giovanni Di Lorenzo (RB) The Napoli defender had a difficult night on his home ground.

He was vulnerable against England’s left side and he conceded a penalty for handball. 5 Rafael Tolói (CB) Italy have had many great centre-backs.

Tolói is not one of them. The veteran’s lack of pace was exposed time and again. 5 Francesco Acerbi (CB) The 35-year-old’s limitations were shown up by the quality of Harry Kane’s movement.

He was stronger in the second half. 6 Leonardo Spinazzola (LB) The Roma defender was full of adventure during Euro 2020.
