London/IBNS: The sporting spirit in the European football evaporated soon after England were defeated by Italy in the Euro Cup final on Sunday, with the English fans creating a mayhem inside and outside the Wembley stadium here.

In several videos which have been trending on social media, English fans purportedly were seen attacking their Italian counterparts, thrashing them in and around the stadium with the security officials struggling to manage the situation.

In one of the trending videos, a woman was seen heckled, a man carrying Italy's National Flag was attacked with one was heard saying in the background, "Oh you fu**ing bas**rd".

In some other videos which surfaced on the internet, fans, expected to be English, were seen ransacking public properties on streets, throwing bottles, creating mayhem.

After remaining unbeaten in the entire tournament, England went down to Italy in the final, failing to put an end to their record of not winning any major tournament for the last 55 years.

England took the lead with a Luke Shaw strike in the second minute, the quickest ever goal in an Euro final.

Italy, unbeaten in 33 matches before this final, slowly edged their way back into the game and were level in the 67th minute when Leonardo Bonucci pounced after England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford turned Marco Verratti's header on to a post.

From there on, England struggled to find their composure but managed to hold on to take the game to extra time and, after another nervous 30 minutes, penalties were needed to separate the two sides.

Marcos Rashford, Jaydon Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed the vital penalties for England, who lost to Italy 3-2 in the shootout.

Harry Kane and Harry Maguire were on target for England while Pickford kept hopes alive with saves from Andrea Belotti and Jorginho while Domenico Berardi, Bonucci and Federico Bernardeschi scored for Italy.
