Player of the Match – Manuel Locatelli
The Sassuolo man started and finished the move that gave Italy a well-deserved first-half lead against their cross-border rivals and made it 2-0 just after the break. The stunning 20-yard strike from the midfielder was the first brace of the ex-AC Milan man’s career.
