Pure madness as Shaw and England got off to a terrific start and shocked Italy right out of the gate with the goal to take the early lead in the UEFA Euro 2020 final.
The crowd at Wembley absolutely erupted after the goal, which nobody expected to come that early.

Tom Cruise and David Beckham fist bumping each other after Luke Shaw takes the lead for England against a Italy in a European Championship final is a sentence I’d never thought I’d write but here we are.

And, well, Shaw can certainly smile about this goal, surely frustrating Jose Mourinho, and that brought some reactions of course.

Italy fans seeing that early goal might be shocked, and rightfully so, as they sure weren't expecting that start to the Euro 2020 final.
