He got denied by Gianluigi Donnarumma on the final penalty after Jordan Pickford had kept England alive by saving a Jorginho PK. He has not had a great Euro, recording one chance, four crosses and three interceptions in four appearances (three starts). He is primed to put up better numbers with Arsenal.
