Euro 2020: Italy v England - Tension, drama, fear, ecstasy... heartbreak in pictures

Italy ensured football would be heading to Rome, not home on Monday, edging England in the Euro 2020 final via a penalty shootout. 

Espectation turned to tension turned to joy, joy turned to ecstasy, ecstasy turned to fear and fear turned to heartbreak on a night full of drama at Wembley Stadium.
