AN ENGLAND fan has reported she was sexually assaulted by thugs in a crush before the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.
The student in her 20s said she was groped by men and had her jeans ripped as yobs ran riot before the match with Italy.
The fan, who can’t be identified for legal reasons, said a worker at the gate said the alleged assault was her fault because of how she was dressed.
She said she was pickpocketed during Sunday’s chaos, which saw England supporters brawl and storm the stadium.
The woman told The Mirror: “I was at the gate squished between men who were trying to push through.
“My bum was grabbed, my jeans ripped and my boobs were touched.

She reported the sexual assault to a female member of staff who got a police officer to help her.
