Season › 2011-12 › News Baines and Jagielka coming home Michael Kenrick , 24 June, 145comments | Jump to most recent Italy beat England on penalties Everton's last representatives at Euro2012 are heading home after England suffered an all-too familiar exit with defeat on penalties, this time at the hands of Italy after a 0-0 draw after extra time. Neither Leighton Baines nor Phil Jagielka got a kick in the tournament and will return home to prepare for next season. Roy Hodgson's unfancied Three Lions side managed to hold Italy at bay for 120 minutes despite ceding two thirds of the possession and living on a knife edge for much of extra time where they barely mounted an attack. John Terry and ex-Blue Joleon Lescott had towering performances at the back while Glenn Johnson was foiled with arguably England's best chance when his scooped shot from point-blank range was batted away by Buffon. Having survived until the dreaded penalty shoot-out, England were handed the advantage when Montelivo fired wide from 12 yards but Ashley Young crashed his spot-kick off the crossbar and Ashley Cole's stutter-step attempt was easily saved sending the Italians through to a semi-final date with Germany on Thursday.
