Italy advance early

-

Manuel Locatelli scored two goals and Italy beat Switzerlan­d 3-0 to advance to the last 16 of football’s European Championsh­ip with a game to spare. Locatelli’s first goal came following a textbook exchange with Domenico Berardi midway through the first half in Rome, before his long and low shot shortly after the break left Switzerlan­d goalkeeper Yann Sommer stranded. Ciro Immobile scored from range in the 89th minute. Aaron Ramsey and Connor Roberts scored in Wales’ 2-0 victory over Turkey, while Russia beat Finland 1-0.
