Switzerland fans brutally troll Italy after World Cup qualifying KO with Google-themed banner in England loss at Wembley

SWITZERLAND fans trolled Italy with a Google-themed banner during Saturday night's clash with England.

The Swiss arrived at Wembley having already booked their place at this winter's World Cup.

Murat Yakin's side won Group C ahead of Roberto Mancini's - consigning the Euro 2020 winners to the play-offs in the process.

Italy were subsequently humiliated in Thursday night's semi-final, losing 1-0 at home to North Macedonia in injury time to be dumped out of contention.

Swiss fans at Wembley appeared to revel in their neighbours' misfortune.

One banner depicted a Google search reading: "Italy World Cup Qatar 2022".

It then added: "Did you mean: SWITZERLAND".

The fan holding the banner beamed from ear to ear as it was photographed.

While North Macedonia struck the final blow, Switzerland played a huge role in Italy's failure to make it to Qatar.

Yakin's men drew home and away against Mancini's in Group C, but picked up two more points than them from their other fixtures.

The Google banner will have gone down well at Wembley, with no love lost between England fans and the Italian team after Gareth Southgate's side were beaten on penalties in last year's Euro 2020 final.

England would be victorious on this occasion, but they were made to sweat.

Breel Embolo struck the visitors into a 22nd minute lead under the Wembley arch, but Luke Shaw was able to find an equaliser on the stroke of half-time.

Harry Kane netted the winner 12 minutes from time, converting from the penalty spot after a handball at close quarters.

It was his 49th goal for the Three Lions, bringing him level with Sir Bobby Charlton as the second-highest goal scorer ever.

Wayne Rooney is top of the charts on 53.

Italy will be back at Wembley in June for the "Finallisima".

The Azzurri will return to the scene of last year's triumph to take on Copa America champions Argentina.

It will be their only showpiece match this year.
