Paula Storey: So proud of our England team. What fabulous role models for our youngsters. Thank you so much! You have achieved great things and even better days lay ahead. I feel real pity for the haters. How sad and toxic their lives must be.

The FA have said they will conduct a full review after a "large number of drunken yobs" tried to force their way into Wembley without tickets ahead of last night's Euro final.

Mike Keegan is a sports news correspondent for The Mail and was there last night. He told BBC Radio 5 Live's Naga Munchetty he had "never seen anything like that" before.

"They tried to run off all around the stadium - these were quite aggressive, menacing people.

"There were people who came in later on with their tickets and these people were in their seats and people were too afraid to go and confront them.

"There was this situation with children crying, a couple of Italian fans who couldn't believe what they were seeing and people powerless to stop it.

"It just felt like anarchy had descended on Wembley last night."

The Met police said they worked with security to prevent breaches.

More on the news we brought you earlier that a TV audience of 30.95 million watched the tense closing minutes of the Euro 2020 final.

Ratings peaked during the penalty shootout between England and Italy at Wembley on Sunday, which was broadcast on both the BBC and ITV.

An average of 29.85m watched the whole match, according to the figures.

Broadcast on both the BBC and ITV, the combined figure makes it the highest TV audience since the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.

Mum Denise called 606 to describe her “pain” for her 13-year-old son, when he saw the racist online abuse targeted at players.

“As a black mother in this country with a mixed-race child, who is so desperate to play for his country… he’s obsessed everything England, everything English football… watching that light vanish from his face was the most painful thing I saw this morning, in all my life… because of all the abuse that these young boys are getting. "He knows it’s not the first time… this happens to us, black people, everywhere we go. Every day.”

Andy Ripper: So disappointing to see the yobs back at the Euro 2020 final. Wembley group & R16 games were friendly & well organised but things changed for the worse last night. We can forget about bidding for the 2030 World Cup now.

By the way, England's next match is on 2 September away to Hungary in a World Cup qualifier.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham says it was "sad and frustrating" to see "drunken yobs" get into Wembley for the Euro 2020 final.

In an interview with the BBC's Dan Roan, Bullingham added that action will be taken against anyone identified.

On the subject of England players receiving racist abuse, he said it was unbelievable that we are still talking about it - and that social media companies need to act.

Ian: Love watching our England team, I respect the way the players have conducted themselves on and off the pitch, I'm proud that they represent our nation. I hope one day the fans will emulate the example your team sets.

There has been plenty of club support for Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka following England's penalty shootout disappointment.

Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny tweeted he is "so proud" of 19-year-old team-mate Saka for stepping up to take the crucial spot kick.

A mural honouring footballer Marcus Rashford has been vandalised with graffiti following England's defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

The artwork in Withington, Manchester, was defaced shortly after England lost in a penalty shootout on Sunday.

Rashford missed a penalty in the 3-2 shootout and was targeted on social media after the game.

It was commissioned in recognition of the Manchester United player's work to tackle child food poverty.

Rashford's mother provided the quote on the mural, which reads: "Take pride in knowing that your struggle will play the biggest role in your purpose."

Former England defender

It's crazy to me how 120 minutes of football and a penalty shootout later that the feeling towards some of our England players drastically changed.

Immediately after the game social media platforms became the toxic and racist safe place for the ignorant and cowardly rats to start spouting their disgusting feelings.

Hiding behind the safety blanket that is social media platforms these disgusting people can continually abuse our England players knowing that they are safe to be able to stay anonymous.

Jordan Henderson is the latest player to share his thoughts on last night's defeat.

The Liverpool captain tweeted: "It says a lot about the lads who took a pen last night, huge courage, but we win & lose as a team & we will learn from this experience."

Ugo Monye, 5 live Rugby Union Weekly presenter and former England rugby international, was at Wembley last night and condemned the “avalanche” of racist abuse.

“They say sport is a reflection of our society – if this is what our society is, then we need to do something about it.”

“As a black man, and I’ve spoken to lots of people since who all had the same feeling…you don’t want anyone to miss a penalty but I knew if one of the black lads missed a penalty, you know what’s coming. I was nervous for the reaction.

“If it was one of the white players, it just wouldn’t be like this - the avalanche of racist, disgusting abuse."The players didn’t let us down last night, it was the fans. I don’t know why we should ever be able to host another major football tournament in England until we sort ourselves out…when we have scenes like we saw... the garbage, litter, destruction."

England

Gareth Southgate has finished his news conference.

Before the end, he spoke more about fan misbehaviour/abuse: "We can't control that. We can only set the example we think we should.

"We have had a positive effect on areas of society but we cannot do everything."

England

Southgate is asked about how much it hurts not getting things right:

"As a manager, you have to accept that there will be intense analysis. We have benefitted from a lot of praise during the tournament. There will be a lot said after the game and I have to accept the analysis when things don't go right.

"You make hundreds of decisions day in, day out, during the tournament. Some you get right and some that you don't.

"You have to get more right than wrong. So I take responsibility and take the criticism that comes with that. I have to take that.

"If I didn't get all the decision right last night, so be it. I have to live with that."

England

More from Gareth Southgate on the difficulties leading up to the tournament:

"There were so many things that were uncertain beforehand, the injuries we had... we weren't too sure defensively how things would work.

"Tyrone Mings, for example, did great coming in at the start of the tournament, then Harry Maguire also when he came back in. We defended brilliantly. We were constantly dealing with uncertainties.

"Kalvin Phillips, who had a brilliant tournament... we didn't know if he would be fit. In some areas of the team we have clear strength but in other areas, we haven't quite got that strength. By managing and adjusting we have been able to get to a final."
