Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has responded to Government calls for an explanation into the shocking scenes which marred the Euro 2020 final. Bullingham vowed that lessons would be learned after the national stadium was subjected to a “six-hour siege” by “thousands of lawless yobs”. Bullingham wrote: “The scenes around Wembley Stadium at the UEFA Euro 2020 final on Sunday, July 11 were both shocking and appalling. “We were faced with thousands of yobs outside the stadium, many of whom were drunk or intoxicated in other ways. “To achieve this, we have commissioned an independent review focused on learning lessons to prevent this from ever taking place again.
